When cooled below \(4.2\) K, mercury becomes a superconductor, which means it has no electrical resistance. When a current is passed through mercury under these conditions, which one of the following effects will be present?
(a) thermal
(b) chemical
(c) magnetic
1. | (a) and (c) only |
2. | (a), (b) and (c) |
3. | (b) only |
4. | (c) only |
i. | \(A\) is feebly repelled. |
ii. | \(B\) is feebly attracted. |
iii. | \(C\) is strongly attracted. |
iv. | \(D\) remains unaffected. |
1. | \(C\) is of a diamagnetic material. |
2. | \(D\) is of a ferromagnetic material. |
3. | \(A\) is of a non-magnetic material. |
4. | \(B\) is of a paramagnetic material. |
Statement I: | All paramagnetic substances become diamagnetic as their temperature is lowered. |
Statement II: | All ferromagnetic substances become paramagnetic when their temperature is lowered. |
1. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct. |
2. | Both Statement I and Statement II are correct. |
3. | Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. |
4. | Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect. |
Soft iron is used to manufacture electromagnets because:
1. It has a high permeability.
2. Its retentivity and coercivity are small.
3. Its retentivity and coercivity are high.
4. Both (1) & (2)
1. | low hysteresis loss | 2. | high hysteresis loss |
3. | high permeability | 4. | both (1) and (3) |
