(N/A) paramagnetic substance is a material that is weakly attracted by an external magnetic field and tends to align itself in the direction of the applied field.
When a small bar of a paramagnetic substance is placed in a non-uniform magnetic field,it experiences a force that pulls it from the region of a weak magnetic field toward the region of a strong magnetic field.
