<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1590003, member: 15199&quot;]TC is correct, but no quantum theory explanations today. Diamagnetism are the items we usually think of as non-magnetic, such as gold, silver,wood, frogs, etc. Paramagnetism are items that are magnetic when an external magnetic field is applied to them, but the magnetic effect ceases when the field ceases. Ferromagnetism is magnetic and retains the effect without an external field. As in math where we have + numbers and negative numbers, diamagnetism has a negative correlation, so some items such as gold, silver will tend to &quot;very slightly&quot; oppose magnetic effect, although the stronger the magnet, the more it will oppose. Some materials can be made to &quot;hover&quot; over a very strong exotic metal magnet, and I have even seen photos of a live frog &quot;hover&quot; over an extremely strong magnetic field many time over a MRI&nbsp; machine. Of course we don&#039;t know how the frog felt about the effects <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So yes, the effect you felt was a slight opposition to the magnetism of the rare earth magnet. </p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
