Question

When placed in a non-uniform magnetic field, a paramagnetic material experiences a net force that tends to move it

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

(c) : Paramagnetic materials develop a weak induced magnetization in the same direction as the applied magnetic field. Because of this, they are feebly attracted by magnets and tend to move from the weaker region of a non-uniform magnetic field toward the stronger region.
