Options:
  • A \( 3.2 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T} \)
  • B \( 1.6 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T} \)
  • C \( 0.8 \times 10^{-4} \)
  • D \( 0.4 \times 10^{-4} \)

The correct answer is: \( 1.6 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T} \)
(B)
\[
\begin{array}{l}
T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{M B}} \\
2=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{8 \times 10^{-6}}{5 \times 10^{-2} \times B}} \\
\text { Squaring } 1=\frac{\Pi^{2} \times 8 \times 10^{-6}}{5 \times 10^{-2} \times B} \\
\therefore B=\frac{3.14^{2} \times 8 \times 10^{-6}}{5}=1.6 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}
\end{array}
\]
