A magnetic needle of negligible breadth and thickness compared to its length, oscillates in a horizontal plane with a period T . The period of oscillation of each part obtained on breaking the magnet into n equal parts and perpendicular to the length is
Options
- AT
- BT n
- Cn T
- D1 n
Correct answer
B. T n
Step-by-step solution
T = 2 π I M B on breaking n equal parts perpendicular to length I ′ = 1 12 m n l n 2 of each part I ′ = I n 3 , M ′ = M n T ′ T = I ′ M ′ × M I = 1 n 3 × n = 1 n ⇒ T ′ = T n
