Q. A copper rod is suspended in a non-homogenous magnetic field region. The rod when in equilibrium will align itself

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

Copper is a diamagnetic material, therefore its rod align itself where magnetic field is weaker and perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field there.
Hence, when a copper rod is suspended in a non-homogenous magnetic field region, then the rod when in equilibrium will align itself in the region where magnetic field is weakest and perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field there
