When cooled below \(4.2\) K, mercury becomes a superconductor, which means it has no electrical resistance. When a current is passed through mercury under these conditions, which one of the following effects will be present?
(a) thermal
(b) chemical
(c) magnetic
Choose the correct option from the given ones:   

1. (a) and (c) only
2. (a), (b) and (c) 
3. (b) only
4. (c) only

There are four light-weight-rod samples \(A,\) \(B,\) \(C,\) \(D\) separately suspended by threads. A bar magnet is slowly brought near each sample and the following observations are noted: 
i. \(A\) is feebly repelled. ii. \(B\) is feebly attracted.
iii. \(C\) is strongly attracted. iv. \(D\) remains unaffected.
Which one of the following is true?
1. \(C\) is of a diamagnetic material.
2. \(D\) is of a ferromagnetic material.
3. \(A\) is of a non-magnetic material.
4. \(B\) is of a paramagnetic material.
