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

Solution

Paramagnetic materials will be feebly attract, dimagnetic material will be feebly repelled and Ferromagnetic material will be strongly attracted.
