Magnetism Question 92

Question: Two magnets A and B are identical in mass, length and breadth but have different magnetic moments. In a vibration magnetometer, if the time period of B is twice the time period of A. The ratio of the magnetic moments $ M _{A}/M _{B} $ of the magnets will be

Options:

A) $ \frac{1}{2} $

B) $ 2 $

C) $ 4 $

D) $ 1/4 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{MB _{H}}}\Rightarrow T\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}\Rightarrow \frac{M _{A}}{M _{B}}={{( \frac{T _{B}}{T _{A}} )}^{2}}=\frac{4}{1} $
