A thin diamagnetic rod is placed vertically between the poles of an electromagnet. When the current in the electromagnet is switched on, then the diamagnetic rod is pushed up, out of the horizontal magnetic field. Hence the rod gains gravitational potential energy. The work required to do this comes from:

1. the current source
2. the magnetic field
3. the lattice structure of the material of the rod
4. the induced electric field due to the changing magnetic field.

At point A on the earth's surface, the angle of dip is, \delta =+25°. At a point B on the earth's surface, the angle of dip is, \delta =-25°. We can interpret that:

1. A and B are both located in the southern hemisphere.
2. A and B are both located in the northern hemisphere.
3. A is located in the southern hemisphere and B is located in the northern hemisphere.
4. A is located in the northern hemisphere and B is located in the southern hemisphere.
