Question:

A magnet makes 40 oscillations per minute at a place with \(B_H = 0.1\times10^{-5}T\). At another place, time period is 2.5 s. Find \(B_H\) there.

Show Hint

Time period of magnet \(\propto 1/\sqrt{B_H}\).

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: \[ T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{I}{MB_H}} \Rightarrow T \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{B_H}} \]

Step 1:
Initial time period
\[ 40 \text{ oscillations/min} = \frac{40}{60} = \frac{2}{3}\,Hz \Rightarrow T_1 = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5s \]

Step 2:
Use relation
\[ \frac{T_1}{T_2} = \sqrt{\frac{B_2}{B_1}} \] \[ \frac{1.5}{2.5} = \sqrt{\frac{B_2}{0.1\times10^{-5}}} \] \[ \frac{3}{5} = \sqrt{\frac{B_2}{10^{-6}}} \] \[ \frac{9}{25} = \frac{B_2}{10^{-6}} \Rightarrow B_2 = \frac{9}{25}\times10^{-6} = 0.36\times10^{-6} \] Conclusion: \[ 0.36\times10^{-6}T \]
