Q131 / 200 · NEET 2009 (Screening) · Physics

If a diamagnetic substance is brought near the north or the south pole of a bar magnet, it is

  • Correct answer
    A
    repelled by both the poles
  • B
    repelled by the north pole and attracted by the south pole
  • C
    attracted by the north pole and repelled by the south pole
  • D
    attracted by both the poles

Solution

Diamagnetic substance are weekly magnetised in a direction opposite to that of applied magnetic field. These are repelled in an external magnetic field ie, have a tendency to move from high to low field region.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
