    Needles \[{{N}_{1}},{{N}_{2}}\] and \[{{N}_{3}}\] are made of a ferromagnetic, a paramagnetic and a diamagnetic substance, respectively. A magnet when brought close to them will    [AIEEE 2006]

    A) Attract\[{{N}_{1}}\]and\[{{N}_{2}}\]strongly but repel\[{{N}_{3}}\]

    B) Attract\[{{N}_{1}}\]strongly, \[{{N}_{2}}\]weakly and repel\[{{N}_{3}}\] weakly

    C) Attract\[{{N}_{1}}\]strongly, but repel\[{{N}_{2}}\]and\[{{N}_{3}}\]weakly

    D) attract all three of them

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Ferromagnetic substances have strong tendency to get magnetized (induced magnetic moment) in the same direction as that of applied magnetic field, so magnet attracts\[{{N}_{1}}\] strongly.
    Paramagnetic substances get weakly magnetized (magnetic moment induced is small) in the same direction as that of applied magnetic field, so magnet attracts\[{{N}_{2}}\]weakly.
    Diamagnetic substances also get weakly magnetized when placed in an external magnetic field but in opposite direction and hence\[{{N}_{3}}\]is weakly repelled by magnet.
