A thin diamagnetic rod is placed vertically between the poles of an electromagnet. When the current in the electromagnet is switched on, then the diamagnetic rod is pushed up, out of the horizontal magnetic field. Hence the rod gains gravitational potential energy. The work required to do this comes from
the lattice structure of the material of the rod
the magnetic field
the current source
the induced electric field due to the changing magnetic field
As we have learned
Diamagnetic Substance -
B<B0, B/B0<1 or
Relative permeability of diamagnetic substance.
-
when current source is switched on, magnetic field sets up between poles on electromagnet
Diamagnetic material due to its tendency to move from stronger to weaker field , is thus repelled out
Option 1)
the lattice structure of the material of the rod
This is incorrect
Option 2)
the magnetic field
This is incorrect
Option 3)
the current source
This is correct
Option 4)
the induced electric field due to the changing magnetic field
This is incorrect
