Q.

The magnetic moment and moment of inertia of a magnetic needle as shown are, respectively, 1.0×10-2A m2 and 10-6π2 kg m2.

If it completes 10 oscillations in 10 s, the magnitude of the magnetic field is                                [2024]
 

1 0.4 T  
2 4 T  
3 0.4 mT  
4 4 mT  

Ans.

(3)

Magnetic moment, M=1.0×10-2Am2

Moment of inertia, I=10-6π2 kg m2

Time period for one oscillation 1010=1s

We know that, T=2πIMB

    T2=4π2IMB

B=4π2IMT2=4×(3.14)21×10-2×10-6(3.14)2=4×10-4=0.4 mT
