    A magnet makes 30 oscillations/min in the earths magnetic field. If the magnetic field is doubled, the period of oscillation of magnet is:

    A)  \[\sqrt{2}s\]          

    B)  \[2s\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}s\]         

    D)  \[\frac{1}{2}s\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Key Idea: Motion of magnet is SHM. When I is moment of inertia of magnet about its axis of vibration and H is horizontal component of earths magnetic field, then time period of magnet is \[T=2\,\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{MH}}\] where M is magnetic moment. Given, \[n=30\] oscillation/min. Since, \[n=\frac{1}{T}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{T}_{1}}=\frac{60}{30}s=2\,s\] Given, \[{{H}_{1}}=H,\,{{H}_{2}}=2H\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{H}_{2}}}{{{H}_{1}}}}\] \[\frac{{{2}^{2}}}{T_{2}^{2}}=2\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{T}_{2}}^{2}=2\,s\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{T}_{2}}=\sqrt{2}\,s\]
