As curie law explains, we can deduce a formula for the relation between magnetic field induction, tempreature and magnetisation.
`i.e.,`
`I("magnetisation")oo(B("magnetic field induction"))/(t("tempreture in kelvin"))`
`rArr (I_(2))/(I_(1))=(B_(2))/(B_(1))xx(t_(1))/(t_(2))`
Let us suppose, here `I_(1)=8 Am^(_1)B_(1)=0.6T, t_(1)=4K`

Needles `N_(1) , N_(2), and N_(3)` are made of a ferromagnetic, a paramagnetic and a diamagnetic substance respectively . A magnet when brought close to them willA. attract `N_(1) and N_(2) ` strongly but repel `N_(3)`B. attract `N_(1)` strongly , `N_(2) ` weakly and repel `N_(3) ` weaklyC. attract `N_(1) ` strongly , but repel `N_2 and N_3 ` weaklyD. attract all three of them .

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Ferromagnetic substance have strong tendency to get magnetised ( induced magnetic moment ) in the same direction as that of applied magnetic field , so magnet attracts `N_(1)` strongly . Paramagnetic substances get weekly magnetised ( magnetic moment induced in small ) in the same direction as that of applied magnetic field , so magnet attracts `N_(2)` weakly .
Diamagnetic substance also get weakly magnetised when placed in an external magnetic field but in opposite direction and hence , `N_3` is weakly repelled by magnet .
