A ball of superconducting material is dipped in liquid nitrogen and placed near a bar magnet. (i) In which direction will it move? (ii) What will be the direction of its magnetic moment?
Both liquid nitrogen and the superconducting material are diamagnetic in nature. This does not change even when the superconducting material is dipped into liquid nitrogen. In presence of an external magnetic field, superconducting material will be repelled opposite to the direction of the magnetic field.
