Question

The magnetic needle of a vibration magnetometer makes 12 oscillations per minute in the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field. When an external short bar magnet is placed at some distance along the axis of the needle in the same line, it makes 15 oscillations per minute. If the poles of the bar magnet are interchanged, the number of oscillations it makes per minute is, 61, 63, 65, 67

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Magnetic field = B H T = 60 12 = 5 s e c . Magnetic field = B H + B T = 60 15 = 4 s e c . Let after reversing magnetic needle makes x oscillation per minute. ⇒ Magnetic field = B H - B , T = 60 x s e c . T ∝ 1 M a g n e t i c f i e l d ⇒ 5 4 = B H + B B H ⇒ B B H = 9 16 ⇒ 5 60 x = B H - B B H ⇒ x = 63
