Q26 / 49 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Magnetic Properties of Matter

A vibration magnetometer consists of two identical bar magnets placed one over the other such that they are mutually perpendicular and bisect each other. The time period of the combination is 4 s. If one of the magnets is removed, then the time period of other one will be

  • A
    5.78 s
  • Correct answer
    B
    3.36 s
  • C
    4.36 s
  • D
    5.36 s

Solution

As magnets are perpendicular to each other, the resultant magnetic moment

           M'=M2+M2=2 M

∴  T1=2π2I2MH 

In the second case, T2=2πIMH

                                T2T1=121/4

∴                             T2=421/4=3.36 s

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
