    The time period of oscillation of a magnet in a vibration magnetometer is 1.5 seconds. The time period of oscillation of another magnet similar in size, shape and mass but having one-fourth magnetic moment than that of first magnet, oscillating at same place will be [MP PMT 1991; MP PMT 2002]

    A)            0.75 sec                                  

    B)            1.5 sec

    C)            3 sec                                        

    D)            6 sec

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[T\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}\Rightarrow \frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{2}}}{{{M}_{1}}}}\Rightarrow \frac{1.5}{{{T}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{M}_{1}}/4}{{{M}_{1}}}}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow {{T}_{2}}=3\sec \]
