  • A
    perpendicular to the magnetic field.
  • B
    inclined at an angle $120^{\circ}$ to the magnetic field.
  • C
    inclined at an angle $45^{\circ}$ to the magnetic field.
  • D
    parallel to the magnetic field.

Consider the regular array of vertical identical current-carrying wires (with the 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:

$A$ sample of paramagnetic salt contains $2.0 \times 10^{24}$ atomic dipoles each of dipole moment $1.5 \times 10^{-23} \; J \, T^{-1}$. The sample is placed under a homogeneous magnetic field of $0.64 \; T$ and cooled to a temperature of $4.2 \; K$. The degree of magnetic saturation achieved is $15 \%$. What is the total dipole moment of the sample for a magnetic field of $0.98 \; T$ and a temperature of $2.8 \; K$? (Assume Curie's law)
