    $\frac{T}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $T$
  • C

The magnetic moments of two bar magnets of same size are in the ratio $1:2$. When they are placed one over the other with their similar poles together,their period of oscillation in a magnetic field is $3 \, s$. If one of the magnets is reversed,then the period of oscillation in the same field will be ......... $s$.

In a vibration magnetometer,the time period of a bar magnet oscillating in the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is $2 \ s$. When a magnet is brought near and parallel to it,the time period reduces to $1 \ s$. The ratio $H/F$ of the horizontal component $H$ and the field $F$ due to the magnet will be:

The length of a magnet is large compared to its width and breadth. The time period of its oscillation in a vibration magnetometer is $T$. The magnet is cut along its length into six parts and these parts are then placed together as shown in the figure. The time period of this combination will be

$A$ short bar magnet is placed in the magnetic meridian of the earth with its north pole pointing towards the geographic north. Neutral points are found at a distance of $30 \, cm$ from the magnet on the East-West line, drawn through the center of the magnet. The magnetic moment of the magnet in $A \cdot m^2$ is close to: (Given $\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} = 10^{-7} \, T \cdot m/A$ and $B_H = 3.6 \times 10^{-5} \, T$)

$A$ short magnet oscillates with a time period $0.1 \, s$ at a place where the horizontal magnetic field is $24 \, \mu T$. $A$ downward current of $18 \, A$ is established in a vertical wire kept at a distance of $20 \, cm$ east of the magnet. The new time period of oscillations of the magnet is (in $s$)
