  • question_answer
    At two places A and B using vibration magnetometer, a magnet vibrates in a horizontal plane and its respective periodic time are 2 sec and 3 sec and at these places the earth's horizontal components are HA and HB respectively. Then the ratio between HA  and HB will be [MP PMT 1985, 89]

    A)            9 : 4                                          

    B)            3 : 2

    C)            4 : 9                                          

    D)            2 : 3

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{MH}}\Rightarrow T\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{H}}\]Þ \[\frac{{{T}_{A}}}{{{T}_{B}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{H}_{B}}}{{{H}_{A}}}}\] Þ \[\frac{{{H}_{A}}}{{{H}_{B}}}=\]\[{{\left( \frac{{{T}_{B}}}{{{T}_{A}}} \right)}^{2}}={{\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{9}{4}\].
