Two short magnets of equal dipole moments \(M\) are fastened perpendicularly at their centres (figure). The magnitude of the magnetic field at a distance \(d\) from the centre on the bisector of the right angle is:

The variation of the intensity of magnetisation \((I)\) with respect to the magnetising field \((H)\) in a diamagnetic substance is described by the graph:

| 1. | \(OD\) | 2. | \(OC\) |

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 |
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 dipoles in a diamagnetic material are represented, for three situations. The three situations differ in magnitude if a magnetic field is applied to the material. In which situation the magnetization of the material is the greatest:

| 3. | \(C\) | 4. | Equal in \(A,B\) and \(C\) |
If H is the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field and 'V' is the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field, then at the magnetic equator:
