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

    A) 1 s                              

    B) 2 s

    C) 3 s                              

    D) 4 s

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The time period T of oscillation of a magnet is given by \[T=2\pi \,\sqrt{\frac{l}{MB}}\] where, l = moment of inertia of the magnet about axis of rotation \[\operatorname{M} = magnetic moment of the magnet\] \[\operatorname{B}= uniform magnetic field\] As the l, B remain the same \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,T\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{B}}\,\,or\,\,\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{B}_{1}}}{{{B}_{2}}}}\] Given that \[{{\operatorname{B}}_{1}}=24\mu T,\,\,{{B}_{2}}=\,\,24\,\mu T-\,\,18\mu T\,\,=\,\,6\mu T\] \[{{T}_{1}}=\,\,2\,s\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,{{T}_{2}}=(2s)\sqrt{\frac{24\,\mu T}{6\,\mu T}}=4\,s\]
