Question
A magnetic needle of magnetic moment 6.7 × 10–2 Am2 and moment of inertia 7.5 × 10–6 kg m2 is performing simple harmonic oscillations in a magnetic field of 0.01 T.Time taken for 10 complete oscillations is :
-
6.98 s
-
8.76 s
-
6.65 s
-
8.89 s
Solution
C.
6.65 s
I = 7.5 × 10–6 kg – m2
M = 6.7 × 10–2 Am2
By substituting value in the formula
T = .665 sec
for 10 oscillation, time taken will be
Time = 10 T = 6.65 sec
