A) \[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\]
B) \[\frac{1}{2}\]
C) 2
D) \[\frac{1}{4}\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] When magnet is divided into two equal parts, the magnetic dipole moment |
M = pole strength \[\times \frac{l}{2}=\frac{M}{2}\] |
(pole strength remains same) |
Also, the mass of magnet becomes half, then |
\[m'=\frac{m}{2}\] |
Moment of inertia of magnet |
\[l=\frac{m{{l}^{2}}}{12}\] |
(\[\because \] magnet is equivalent to thin rod of length \[l\]) |
New moment of inertia |
\[l'=\frac{1}{12}\left( \frac{m}{2} \right){{\left( \frac{l}{2} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{m{{l}^{2}}}{12\times 8}\] \[\left( \because \,m'=\frac{m}{2}\,and\,l'=\frac{l}{2} \right)\] |
\[\therefore \] \[l'=\frac{l}{8}\] |
Now, \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\left( \frac{l}{MB} \right)}\] |
\[T'=2\pi \sqrt{\left( \frac{l'}{M'B} \right)}=2\pi \sqrt{\left( \frac{l/8}{MB/2} \right)}\] |
\[\therefore \] \[T'=\frac{T}{2}\,\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,\frac{T'}{T}=\frac{1}{2}\] |
