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 ?
- B is of a paramagnetic material
- C is of a diamagnetic material
- D is of a ferromagnetic material
- A is of a non-magnetic material
Answer
(1) B is of a paramagnetic material
Solution
As per NCERT, diamagnetic substances are feebly repelled, paramagnetic substances are feebly attracted and ferromagnetic substances are strongly attracted by a magnet.
A – diamagnetic, B – paramagnetic, C – ferromagnetic, D – non-magnetic
B is of a paramagnetic material.
Answer: (1)
