What does paramagnetism mean?
A form of magnetism in which the material is weakly attracted to a magnetic field, but does not retain any magnetization when the field is removed. Paramagnetic materials are weakly repelled by a magnetic field.
Example
"The scientist studied the paramagnetism of the new compound, which showed a weak attraction to the magnetic field."
