    The magnetic dipole moment of diamag-netic material is zero as each of its pair of electrons have opposite spins, i.e., µd = 0.
    Paramagnetic substances have dipole moment > 0, i.e. µp ≠ 0, because of excess of electrons in its molecules spinning in the same direction. ​Ferro-magnetic substances are very strong magnets and they also have permanent magnetic moment, i.e.  µf ≠ 0.
