Which of the following materials is diamagnetic in nature? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following materials is diamagnetic in nature?
A. Water
B. Iron
C. Aluminum
D. Nickel
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Materials are classified by their magnetic properties. Ferromagnetic materials (Iron, Cobalt, Nickel) are strongly attracted to magnets. Paramagnetic materials (Aluminum, Platinum) are weakly attracted. Diamagnetic materials (Water, Bismuth, Copper, Gold) are actually weakly repelled by a magnetic field because they create an induced magnetic field in opposition to the externally applied one.

The dimension of Planck's constant is same as that of
A. Angular momentum
B. Energy
C. Linear momentum
D. Force

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Planck's constant h = E/ν, so its dimensions are [Energy]/[Frequency] = [ML²T⁻²]/[T⁻¹] = [ML²T⁻¹]. Angular momentum = mvr = M·LT⁻¹·L = [ML²T⁻¹]. Energy = [ML²T⁻²], linear momentum = [MLT⁻¹], force = [MLT⁻²]. Thus, Planck's constant and angular momentum share dimensions. This is a key dimensional match in quantum mechanics.

The SI unit of luminous intensity is
A. Lumen
B. Lux
C. Watt
D. Candela

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Candela (cd) is one of the seven SI base units, measures luminous intensity. Lumen is luminous flux (lm = cd·sr). Lux is illuminance (lx = lm/m²). Watt is power.

Which of the following graphs represents a body at rest?
A. Velocity-time graph with zero slope
B. Displacement-time graph parallel to time axis
C. Displacement-time graph with constant positive slope
D. Velocity-time graph with positive slope

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
For a body at rest, displacement remains constant over time. The displacement-time graph is a horizontal line, parallel to time axis, indicating zero slope (velocity = 0). Option A indicates constant velocity. Option B (velocity-time zero slope) means constant velocity, not necessarily rest (could be constant non-zero velocity). Option D indicates acceleration. So C is correct.
