Question
A bar magnet takes $\frac{\pi}{10}$ second to complete one oscillation in an oscillation magnetometer. The moment of inertia of the magnet about the axis of rotation is 1.2 × 10-4 kg-m2 and the earth's horizontal magnetic field is $30\mu \text{T}.$ Find the magnetic moment of the magnet.

Answer

We know: $\text{v}=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac}{\text{mB}_\text{H}}{\text{I}}$

For like poles tied together

M = M1 - M2

For unlike poles M' = M1 + M2

$\frac{\text{v}_1}{\text{v}_2}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{M}_1-\text{M}_2}{\text{M} _1-\text{M}_2}}\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{10}{2}\Big)^2$

$=\frac{\text{M}_1-\text{M}_2}{\text{M}_1+\text{M}_2}\Rightarrow25=\frac{\text{M}_1-\text{M}_2}{\text{M}_1+\text{M}_2}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{26}{24}=\frac{2\text{M}_1}{2\text{M}_2}\Rightarrow\frac{\text{M}_1}{\text{M}_2}=\frac{13}{12}$

LAW OF ORBIT: The orbit of every planet is an ellipse around the sun with sun at one of the two foci of ellipse.

LAW OF AREAS: The line that joins a planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time. Area covered by the planet while revolving around the sun will be equal in equal intervals of time. This means the rate of change of area with time is constant.
LAW OF PERIOD: According to this law the square of time period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

In physics, we can classify quantities as scalars or vectors. Basically, the difference is that a direction is associated with a vector but not with a scalar. A scalar quantity is a quantity with magnitude only. It is specified completely by a single number, along with the proper unit. Examples are: the distance between two points, mass of an object, the temperature of a body and the time at which a certain event happened. The rules for combining scalars are the rules of ordinary algebra. Scalars can be added, subtracted, multiplied and divided just as the ordinary numbers. A vector quantity is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction and obeys the triangle law of addition or equivalently the parallelogram law of addition. So, a vector is specified by giving its magnitude by a number and its direction. Some physical quantities that are represented by vectors are displacement, velocity, acceleration and force.

PE of Spring

There are many types of spring. Important among these are helical and spiral springs as shown in figure.

Usually, we assume that the springs are massless. Therefore, work done is stored in the spring in the form of elastic potential energy of the spring. Thus, potential energy of a spring is the energy associated with the state of compression or expansion of an elastic spring.

 

  1. The potential energy of a body is increases in which of the following cases?
  1. If work is done by conservative force
  2. If work is done against conservative force
