A frog can be levitated in a magnetic field produced by a current in a vertical solenoid placed below the frog. This is possible because the body of the frog behaves as
- paramagnetic
- diamagnetic
- ferromagnetic
- antiferromagnetic
The Correct Option is A

Top Questions on Magnetism and matter
- Two long parallel wires X and Y, separated by a distance of 6 cm, carry currents of 5 A and 4 A, respectively, in opposite directions as shown in the figure. Magnitude of the resultant magnetic field at point P at a distance of 4 cm from wire Y is \( 3 \times 10^{-5} \) T. The value of \( x \), which represents the distance of point P from wire X, is \_\_\_\_\_ cm. (Take permeability of free space as \( \mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \) SI units.) \includegraphics[width=1\linewidth]{126.png}

Magnetism & Matter
Magnets are used in many devices like electric bells, telephones, radio, loudspeakers, motors, fans, screwdrivers, lifting heavy iron loads, super-fast trains, especially in foreign countries, refrigerators, etc.
Magnetite is the world’s first magnet. This is also called a natural magnet. Though magnets occur naturally, we can also impart magnetic properties to a substance. It would be an artificial magnet in that case.

Some of the properties of the magnetic field lines are:
- The lines and continuous and outside the magnet, the field lines originate from the North pole and terminate at the South pole
- They form closed loops traversing inside the magnet.
- But here the lines seem to originate from the South pole and terminate at the North pole to form closed loops.
- More number of close lines indicate a stronger magnetic field
- The lines do not intersect each other
- The tangent drawn at the field line gives the direction of the field at that point.
