Question:

Rods 'A', 'B' and 'C' are made of a paramagnetic, a ferromagnetic and a diamagnetic substance respectively. A magnet is brought close to them, it will

Show Hint

- Ferro $>$ Para (attraction strength) - Diamagnetic always repelled
Updated On: May 4, 2026
  • repel all three substances.
  • attract ' A ' strongly, ' B ' weakly and repel 'C' weakly.
  • attract ' A ' strongly but repel both ' B ' and 'C' weakly.
  • attract ' A ' weakly, ' B ' strongly and repel 'C' weakly.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
Magnetic behavior of materials:
Paramagnetic: weakly attracted
Ferromagnetic: strongly attracted
Diamagnetic: weakly repelled

Step 1:
Identify materials.

• A $\rightarrow$ paramagnetic
• B $\rightarrow$ ferromagnetic
• C $\rightarrow$ diamagnetic

Step 2:
Apply behavior.

• A $\rightarrow$ weak attraction
• B $\rightarrow$ strong attraction
• C $\rightarrow$ weak repulsion

Step 3:
Match option.
\[ \text{Correct option is (D)} \]
