STANDARD Physics Magnetic Properties of Materials MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium

A ball of superconducting material is dipped in liquid nitrogen and placed near a bar magnet. In which direction will it move?

A

Away from bar magnet

B

Towards the bar magnet

C

Around the bar magnet

D

Remain constant

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Here, χ = -1 then μᵣ = 1 + χ ⇒ μᵣ = 1 + (-1) = 1 - 1 = 0. Since, magnetic susceptibility of given material is less than one. Hence, the given magnetic material is a diamagnetic material.
