A superconductor exhibits perfect
Correct answer: D. Diamagnetism
- A. Ferrimagnetism
- B. Ferromagnetism
- C. Paramagnetism
- D. Diamagnetism
Explanation
Superconductors exhibit perfect diamagnetism, a phenomenon known as the Meissner effect, where they completely expel magnetic fields from their interior when cooled below their critical temperature. This is the defining characteristic of superconductivity in relation to magnetic fields. The other options, such as ferrimagnetism, ferromagnetism, and paramagnetism, are different types of magnetic ordering that do not describe the behaviour of superconductors. Ferromagnetism and ferrimagnetism involve materials that can retain magnetisation, while paramagnetism involves weak attractions to magnetic fields, none of which involve the complete expulsion of magnetic fields like diamagnetism does in superconductors.

About Physics of Solids
Solids are compared through crystal structure, amorphous arrangement, elasticity, plastic deformation, stress, strain and Young’s modulus. Electrical behavior depends on available charge carriers and band structure, so conductors, insulators and semiconductors must be distinguished from mechanical properties such as strength, stiffness and brittleness.
