NEETPhysicsMagnetism and MatterMCQ+4 / −1
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 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
- A1 s
- B2 s
- C3 s
- D4 s
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
The time period T of oscillation of a magnet is given by
T =
As I, B remains the same here
So T
or
T2 =
= = 4 s
