AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Magnetic Effects of Current

A short magnet oscillates with a time period 0.1 s at a place where horizontal magnetic field is \(24 \mu \mathrm{~T}\). A downward current of 18 A is established in a vertical wire kept at a distance of 20 cm east of the magnet. The new time period of oscillations of the magnet is

  1. A 0.1 s
  2. B 0.089 s
  3. C 0.076 s
  4. D 0.057 s

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0.076 s

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{T}_1=0.1 \mathrm{~s}, \mathrm{~B}_{\mathrm{H}}=24 \mu \mathrm{~T}=24 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~T}, \mathrm{I}=18 \mathrm{~A}\), \(\mathrm{r}=20 \mathrm{~cm}=20 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}\) Magnetic field due to vertical wire,…
