    The time period of a freely suspended magnet is 2 s. If it is broken in length into two equal parts and one part is suspended in the same way, then its time period will be

    A)  4s                                          

    B)  2s

    C)  \[\sqrt{2}\,s\]                                  

    D)  1 s

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Time period of a freely suspended magnet \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{MH}}\] where I = moment of inertia M = magnetic dipole moment H= horizontal component of earth's magnetic field Given'    \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{MH}}=2s\]            ?.(i) When magnet is broken into two parts, then                 \[I'=\frac{\frac{m}{2}{{\left( \frac{l}{2} \right)}^{2}}}{12}=\frac{1}{8}.\frac{m{{l}^{2}}}{12}=\frac{I}{8}\] \[\therefore \]  \[T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{(I/8)}{(M/2)H}}=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{4MH}}\]                 \[=\frac{T}{2}=\frac{2}{2}=1s\]
