alleryA bismuth bar near a strong magnet on the lab table is:
AWeakly repelled, since bismuth is a diamagnetic substance
BStrongly attracted, similar to iron on the bench
CUnaffected entirely, since bismuth has no magnetic response
DWeakly attracted, since all metals respond to a magnet
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Weakly repelled, since bismuth is a diamagnetic substance
Bismuth is diamagnetic, hence weakly repelled.
