MCQ
Assertion : The true geographic north direction is found by using a compass needle.

Reason : The magnetic meridian of the earth is along the axis of rotation of the earth.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • ✓
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
d
The true geographic north-south direction is inclined at an angle with magnetic north-south direction. The angle between them is known as declination. Compass needle gives us direction of north-south (magnetic) direction. Magnetic meridian to pass through magnetic north-south direction. Axis of rotation of the earth gives us geographic north-south direction. So, both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

An electric dipole of moment $\vec P$ is placed in a uniform electric field $\vec E$ such that $\vec P$ points along $\vec E$ . If the dipole is slightly rotated about an axis perpendicular to the plane containing $\vec E$ and $\vec P$ and passing through the centre of the dipole, the dipole executes simple harmonic motion. Consider $I$ to be the moment of inertia of the dipole about the axis of rotation. What is the time period of such oscillation?
