Q. No.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.

| 2. | ferromagnetic material only. |
| 3. | paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials. |
| 4. | diamagnetic material only. |

A bar magnet of length \(l\) and magnetic dipole moment \(M\) is bent in the form of an arc as shown in the figure. The new magnetic dipole moment will be:
| 1. | \(\dfrac{3M}{\pi}\) | 2. | \(\dfrac{2M}{l\pi}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{M}{ 2}\) | 4. | \(M\) |
A compass needle which is allowed to move in a horizontal plane is taken to a geomagnetic pole. It:
1. will become rigid showing no movement
2. will stay in any position
3. will stay in north-south direction only
4. will stay in east-west direction only
| (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 vibration magnetometer placed in a magnetic meridian has a small bar magnet. The magnet executes oscillations with a time period of 2 s in the earth's horizontal magnetic field of 24 T. When a horizontal field of 18 T is produced opposite to the earth's field by placing a current-carrying wire, the new time period of the magnet will be:
1. 1 s
2. 2 s
3. 3 s
4. 4 s
Electromagnets are made of soft iron because soft iron has:
1. low retentivity and high coercive force
2. high retentivity and high coercive force
3. low retentivity and low coercive force
4. high retentivity and low coercive force
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 |
