Diamagnetism vs

Diamagnetism is the property of a material to be repelled by an external magnetic field.

Paramagnetism is the property of a material to be attracted to an external magnetic field.

Diamagnetism is the repulsion of a material by an external magnetic field, while paramagnetism is the attraction of a material to an external magnetic field.
