(10 points) When we discussed the behavior of magnetic materials, we noted that there are some that are attracted to magnets (paramagnetic) and others that are repelled (diamagnetic). But when we discussed the behavior of materials in electric fields, we never made this distinction. Why? Explain using drawings (no math) that show the relative directions of dipole moments and external fields, why there is no such phenomena as diaelectricity, yet diamagnetism can exist.
