Classical theory of diamagnetism has been discussed. When the number and orientation of the electronic orbits is such that the vector sum of magnetic moments is zero then there would be no directive rotating action upon the atom when subjected to external field,but actually the field causes a rotating action owing to its influence on the individual electronic orbits. This action is called diamagnetic action and the substance built up of such molecules are called diamagnetic substance. Magnetic susceptibility has been calculated and it is found that it is negative,small and independent of temperature and field.
