Two small magnets have their masses and lengths in the ratio 1:2. The maximum torques experienced by them in a uniform magnetic field are the same. For small oscillations, the ratio of their time periods is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  4. D \(2 \sqrt{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the mass of the first magnet \(=m\) \(\therefore\) Mass of second magnet \(=2 \mathrm{~m}\) The time-period of oscillation of the magnet \(T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{1}{M B_H}}\) where, \(I=\) Ml of magnet about the axis passing through its centre \(B_H=\) Earth's magnetic field…
