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

  1. A Attract all three of them
  2. B Attract \( N_{1} \) strongly,\( N_{2} \) weakly and repel \( N_{3} \) weakly
  3. C Attract \( N_{1} \) strongly but repel \( N_{2} \) and \( N_{3} \) weakly
  4. D Attract \( N_{1} \) and \( N_{2} \) strongly but \( N_{2} \) repel \( N_{3} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Attract \( N_{1} \) strongly,\( N_{2} \) weakly and repel \( N_{3} \) weakly

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \( N_{1} \) is ferromagnetic, \( N_{2} \) is paramagnetic; \( N_{3} \) is diamagnetic.
Therefore, \( N_{1} \) is attracted strongly by magnet. \( N_{2} \) is attracted weakly by magnet.
\( N_{2} \) is weakly repelled by magnet.
