Q122 / 200 · NEET 2011 (Screening) · Physics

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?

  • A
    $C$ is of a diamagnetic material
  • B
    $D$ is of a ferromagnetic material
  • C
    $A$ is of a non-magnetic material
  • Correct answer
    D
    $B$ is of a paramagnetic material

Solution

Paramagnetic materials will be feebly attract, dimagnetic material will be feebly repelled and Ferromagnetic material will be strongly attracted.

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