Question
A material that repels a magnet and is repelled by it in return is likely:
Explanation
**Magnetization M** is magnetic moment per unit volume (A/m), magnetic intensity H = B/μ₀ - M, susceptibility χ = M/H dimensionless, permeability μ = B/H = μ₀(1+χ), relative permeability μ_r = μ/μ₀ = 1+χ. For solenoid with core, B = μ₀ μ_r n I, n turns per meter (m⁻¹), I current (A). Superconductors, exhibiting perfect diamagnetism (Meissner effect), expel magnetic fields completely, causing mutual repulsion with a magnet. This is distinct from weak diamagnetic repulsion and stronger than other material responses. Substituting values gives Superconductor, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque relation τ = m B sinθ.
