Two identical bar magnets are fixed with their centres at a distance \(d\) apart. A stationary charge \(Q\) is placed at \(P\) in between the gap of the two magnets at a distance \(D\) from the centre \(O\) as shown in the figure.

                

The force on the charge \(Q\) is:

1.	zero.
2.	directed along with \(OP\).
3.	directed along with \(PO\).
4.	directed perpendicular to the plane of the paper.

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

1. repelled by both the poles

2. repelled by the north pole and attracted by the south pole

3. attracted by the north pole and repelled by the south pole

4. attracted by both the poles

The magnetic moment of a diamagnetic atom is:

 Electromagnets are made of soft iron because soft iron has:

A vibration magnetometer placed in a magnetic meridian has a small bar magnet. The magnet executes oscillations with a time period of 2s in earth's horizontal magnetic field of 24 $\mu$T. When a horizontal field is 18 $\mu$T is produced opposite to the earth's field by placing a current-carrying wire, the new time period of the magnet will be

(a) 1s          (b) 2s

(c) 3s          (d) 4s

A short bar magnet of magnetic moment \(0.4~\text {J/T}\) is placed in a uniform magnetic field of \(0.16~\text T.\) The magnet is in stable equilibrium when the potential energy is:

2. zero
3. \(-0.082~\text J\) 
4. \(-0.064~\text J\) 

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. C is of a diamagnetic material

2. D is of a ferromagnetic material

3. A is of a non-magnetic material

4. B is of a paramagnetic material

A magnetic needle suspended parallel to a magnetic field requires $\sqrt{3}$ J of work to turn it through $60°$. The torque needed to maintain the needle in this position will be

1. $2\sqrt{3}$J                     

2. 3 J

3. $\sqrt{3}$ J                       

4. $\frac{3}{2}$ J
