Bob of a simple pendulum of length \(l\) is made of iron . The pendulum is oscillating over a horizontal coil carrying direct current. If the time period of the pendulum is \(T\) then

  1. A \(T < 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} \) and damping is smaller than in air alone.
  2. B \(T = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} \) and damping is larger than in air alone.
  3. C \(T > 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}}\) and damping is smaller than in air alone.
  4. D \(T < 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} \) and damping is larger than in air alone
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(T < 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{l}{g}} \) and damping is larger than in air alone

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When the pendulum is oscillating over a current carrying coil , and when the direction of oscillating pendulum bob is opposite to the direction of current. Its instantaneous acceleration increases. Hence time period \(T < 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{\ell }{g}} \) and damping is larger…
