If a copper rod (free to move and rotate) is brought in a region of a non-uniform magnetic field, then it will align itself

Question

If a copper rod (free to move and rotate) is brought in a region of a non-uniform magnetic field, then it will align itself, along the direction of the magnetic field, at a location where the magnetic field is strongest, along the direction of the magnetic field, at a location where the magnetic field is weakest, perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, at a location where the magnetic field is strongest, perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, at a location where the magnetic field is weakest

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Copper is diamagnetic so the copper rod will align itself perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, at a location where the magnetic field is weakest
