Question

A vibration magnetometer placed in magnetic meridian has a small bar magnet. The magnet executes oscillations with a time period of 2 sec in earth′s horizontal magentic field of 24 microtesla A 18 microtesla magnetic field is produced opposite to the earth′s field by placing a current carrying wire, the new time period of magnet will be 

Options

A.1s
B.2s
C.3s
D.4s

Solution

The timpe period T of oscillation of magnet is given by
          T = 2π
where,
          I = Moment of inertia of the magnet about the axis of rotation
          M = Magnetic moment of the magnet
          B = Uniform magnetic field
As the I, B remains the same
∴          T ∝
According to given problem,
          B1 = 24 μT
          B2 = 24 μT - 18 μT = 6 μT
          T1 = 2s
∴          T2 = (2s) = 4s.
