Magnetism Question 269

Question: A magnet makes 40 oscillations per minute at a place having magnetic field intensity of $ 0.1\times {{10}^{-5}},T $ . At another place, it takes 2.5 sec to complete one vibration. The value of earth’s horizontal field at that place is

Options:

A) $ 0.25\times {{10}^{-6}},T $

B) $ 0.36\times {{10}^{-6}},T $

C) $ 0.66\times {{10}^{-8}},T $

D) $ 1.2\times {{10}^{-6}},T $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] $ T _{1}=\frac{60}{40}=1.5s $ and $ T _{2}=2.5,s $ We know that, $ \frac{T _{1}}{T _{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{B _{2}}{B _{1}}} $ or $ B _{2}=\frac{T _{1}^{2}}{T _{2}^{2}}\times B _{1}={{( \frac{1.5}{2.5} )}^{2}}\times (0.1\times {{10}^{-5}}) $

$ =0.36\times {{10}^{-6}},T $
