(N/A) substance is called a magnetic substance if,when placed in an external magnetic field,an induced magnetic field is produced within it.
There are three main types of magnetic substances:
$(i)$ Diamagnetic substances: These are weakly repelled by an external magnetic field.
$(ii)$ Paramagnetic substances: These are weakly attracted by an external magnetic field.
$(iii)$ Ferromagnetic substances: These are strongly attracted by an external magnetic field.
