MCQ
Using a bar magnet $P$, a vibration magnetometer has time period 2seconds. When a bar $Q$ (identical to $P$ in mass and size) is placed on top of $P$, the time period is unchanged. Which of the following statements is true
  • A
    (a) $Q$ is of non-magnetic material
  • (b) $Q$ is a bar magnet identical to $P$, and its north pole placed on top of $P_s$ north pole
  • C
    (c) $Q$ is of unmagnetized ferromagnetic material
  • D
    (d) Nothing can be said about $Q$ s properties

Answer

Correct option: B.
(b) $Q$ is a bar magnet identical to $P$, and its north pole placed on top of $P_s$ north pole
(b) $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{M B_H}}$. If $Q$ is an identical bar magnet then time period of system will be $T^{\prime}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{2 I}{(2 M) B_H}}=T$
