Question

A frog can be levitated in a magnetic field produced by a current in a vertical solenoid placed below the frog. This is possible because the body of the frog behaves as (A) diamagnetic (B) paramagnetic (C) ferromagnetic (D) antiferromagnetic

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Diamagnetic substances are repelled by the magnetic field. The body of the frog behaves like a diamagnetic substance, hence the smallest magnetic field placed below the body of the frog will be strong enough to lift it.
