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 induced electric field due to the changing magnetic field
4. The lattice structure of the material of the rod

A : If a bar magnet is cut into two equal halves then magnetic dipole moment of each part is half that of theoriginal magnet.
R : Magnetic dipole moment is the product of pole strength and magnetic length.

A : A magnetized needle in a uniform magnetic field experiences a torque but no net force, however, an iron nail near a bar magnet experiences a force of attraction as well as torque.
R : Bar magnet creates non-uniform magnetic field.

A: Every magnetic configuration need not have a north pole and south pole.
R: North pole, south pole exists only if the source of the field has a net magnetic dipole moment.

A : If different ends of two identical looking iron bars are brought closer and they always attract each other then one of the bars is not magnetized.
R : Repulsion is the sure check of presence of magnetization of both the bars.

A : The magnetic field lines also represent the lines of force on a moving charged particle at every point.
R : Force on a moving charge acts parallel to the magnetic field.
