Physics Question on Magnetism and matter
A magnetic dipole of magnetic moment 6×10−2Am2 and moment of inertia 12×10−6kgm2 performs oscillations in a magnetic field of 2×10−2 T. The time taken by the dipole to complete 20 oscillations is (π≃3)
A
36 s
B
6 s
C
12 s
D
18 s
Answer
12 s
Explanation
Solution
Given, Magnetic moment (M)=6×10−2A−m2 Moment of inertia (I)=12×10−6kg−m2 Magnetic field (B)=2×10−2T We know that. Time (t)=2πMBI =2π6.×10−2×2×10−212×10−6 =2π1212×10−2 =2π×10−1 For 20 oscillation, Time (t)=20×2π×10−1 =12s
