Q.

In a uniform magnetic field of 0.049 T, a magnetic needle performs 20 complete oscillations in 5 seconds as shown. The moment of inertia of the needle is 9.8×10-6kgm2. If the magnitude of magnetic moment of the needle is x×10-5Am2, then the value of 'x' is           [2024]

1 5π2  
2 128π2  
3 50π2  
4 1280π2  

Ans.

(4)

Time period of the needle, T=520=14s

Given, I=9.8×10-6kg m2,  M=x×10-5Am2,  B=0.049 T

Since, T=2πIMB

14=2π9.8×10-6x×10-5×0.04918π=9.8×10-6x×10-5×0.049

164π2=9.8×10-6x×10-5×0.049

x=64π2×9.8×10-10.049=1280π2
