    The period of oscillation of a magnet in vibration magnetometer is 2 sec. The period of oscillation of a magnet whose magnetic moment is four times that of the first magnet is            [CPMT 1975, 77, 79, 89, 90; MP PMT 1986]

    A)            1 sec                                        

    B)            4 sec

    C)            8 sec                                        

    D)            0.5 sec

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{2}}}{{{M}_{1}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{4M}{M}}=2\Rightarrow \frac{2}{{{T}_{2}}}=2\]\[\Rightarrow {{T}_{2}}=1\sec \]
