Diamagnetic material susceptibility χ is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Diamagnetic material susceptibility χ is:
A. Small negative
B. Large positive
C. Small positive
D. Large negative
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Diamagnets: χ ≈ -10⁻⁵ (small negative), weakly repelled by magnetic fields. Paramagnets: small +χ; Ferromagnets: large +χ. Memory tip: 'Diamagnetic: χ < 0, weak repulsion'. Magnetism classification frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
In a series LCR circuit at resonance, the impedance is:
A. Minimum
B. Zero
C. Infinite
D. Maximum

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
At resonance frequency ω₀ = 1/√(LC), inductive reactance X_L = ωL equals capacitive reactance X_C = 1/(ωC), so they cancel. Impedance Z = √[R² + (X_L - X_C)²] = R, which is minimum (since R is the only remaining component). Current is maximum at resonance. Memory tip: 'LCR resonance: Z_min = R, I_max, purely resistive'. This AC circuit concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always distinguish series resonance (Z min) from parallel resonance (Z max) behavior.

Question #3
The part of human eye that controls amount of light entering is
A. Retina
B. Iris
C. Cornea
D. Lens

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Iris adjusts pupil size. In bright light pupil constricts, dim light dilates. Retina forms image. Cornea and lens focus. Eye is like camera.
