A perfectly diamagnetic sphere has a small spherical cavity at its centre, which is filled with a paramagnetic substance. The whole system is placed in a uniform magnetic field B → . Then the field inside the paramagnetic substance is:
Options
- AB →
- BZero
- Cmuch large than B → and parallel to B →
- Dmuch large than B → but opposite to B →
Correct answer
B. Zero
Step-by-step solution
When magnetic field is applied diamagnetic substance produces magnetic field in opposite direction so net magnetic field will be zero.
