Diamagnetism is a form of magnetism that occurs in materials that are not attracted to magnetic fields. It is characterized by the phenomenon where certain materials weakly repel magnetic fields. This property arises due to the motion of electrons within atoms. When an external magnetic field is applied to a diamagnetic material, the magnetic field induces a temporary change in the orbital motion of the electrons, leading to the generation of a weak magnetic field in the opposite direction.
