    Two bar magnets having same geometry with magnetic moments M and 2M, are placed in such a way that their similar poles are on the same side, then its time period of oscillation is \[{{T}_{1}}\]. Now, if the polarity of one of the magnets is reversed, then time period of oscillation is\[{{T}_{2}}\] then

    A) \[{{T}_{1}}<{{T}_{2}}\]  

    B)                       \[{{T}_{1}}>{{T}_{2}}\]                  

    C) \[{{T}_{1}}={{T}_{2}}\]                  

    D)       \[{{T}_{2}}=\infty ,\,{{T}_{1}}=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Using the formula for time period for magnetic system \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\left( \frac{I}{mH} \right)}\] \[\Rightarrow \]  \[T\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}\]                   ??(i) When similar poles placed at same side, then \[{{M}_{1}}=M+2M-M=3M\] So, from Eq. (i) \[{{T}_{2}}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{3M}}\]                      ?...(ii) When the polarity of a magnet is reversed, then \[{{M}_{2}}=2M-M=M\] So, from Eq. (i) \[{{T}_{2}}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}\]                          ??(iii) Now, dividing Eq. (ii) by Eq. (iii), we get \[\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}=\frac{\sqrt{M}}{\sqrt{3M}}\] \[=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]    \[{{T}_{2}}=\sqrt{3}{{T}_{1}}\] Hence,     \[{{T}_{1}}<{{T}_{2}}\]
