An example of a perfect diamagnet is a superconductor. This implies that when a superconductor is put in a magnetic field of intensity B, the magnetic field BS inside the superconductor will be such that :
A
BS=−B
B
BS=0
C
BS=B
D
BS<B but BS=0

Correct option is B)
A diamagnet has a tendency to repel the magnetic field lines passing through it. For a perfect diamagnet or a semiconductor, the field lines wont enter the superconductor at all Hence, the magnetic field inside the superconductor will be 0
