Question

Three identical specimens of a magnetic materials nickel, antimony and aluminium are kept in a non-uniform magnetic field. draw the modification in the field lines in each case. justify it.

Answer 1

Answer:

Kindly see attached image

Explanation:

When Three identical specimens of a magnetic materials nickel, antimony and aluminum are kept in a non-uniform magnetic field, then the deflection of magnetic field paths in all three are different. This is because of the difference in the magnetic characteristics of these three elements.

Nickel is a ferromagnetic substance so the magnetic lines will pass closely through the specimen

Antimony is a diamagnetic substance so magnetic field shall move away from the specimen

Aluminum is a para diamagnetic substance, so magnetic lines go at some distance from the specimen
