MCQ
Consider the regular array of vertical identical current carrying wires (with direction of current flow as indicated in the figure alongside) protruding through a horizontal table. If we scatter some diamagnetic particles on the table, then they are likely to accumulate
  • around regions such as $A$
  • B
    around regions such as $B$
  • C
    in circular regions around individual wires such as $C$
  • D
    uniformly everywhere

Answer

Correct option: A.
around regions such as $A$
a
(a)

A diamagnetic material tries to expel field lines from its volume and therefore experiences a repulsion when placed in region of strong fields. In given arrangement, field is zero in region marked $A$. So, diamagnetic powder accumulates in region $A$.
