The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Faraday as a Discoverer by John Tyndall: repulsions, and by paying due regard to the character of the
magnetic field, every fact brought to light in the domain of
magne-crystallic action received complete explanation. The most
perplexing of those facts were shown to result from the action of
mechanical couples, which the proved polarity both of magnetism and
diamagnetism brought into play. Indeed the thoroughness with which
the experiments of Faraday were thus explained, is the most striking
possible demonstration of the marvellous precision with which they
were executed.
