A thin diamagnetic rod is placed vertically between the poles of an electromagnet. When the current in the electromagnet is switched on, then the diamagnetic rod is pushed up, out of the horizontal magnetic field. Hence the rod gains gravitational potential energy. The work required to do this comes from

  1. The current source
  2. The magnetic field
  3. The lattice structure of the material of the rod
  4. The induced electric field due to the changing magnetic field
NEET 2018

The magnetic susceptibility is negative for

  1. ferromagnetic material only
  2. paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials
  3. diamagnetic material only
  4. paramagnetic material only
NEET 2016 (Phase 1)

There are four light-weight-rod samples A, B, C, D separately suspended by threads. A bar magnet is slowly brought near each sample and the following observations are noted (i) A is feebly repelled (ii) B is feebly attracted (iii) C is strongly attracted (iv) D remains unaffected Which one of the following is true ?

  1. B is of a paramagnetic material
  2. C is of a diamagnetic material
  3. D is of a ferromagnetic material
  4. A is of a non-magnetic material
AIPMT 2011 (Prelims)
