10. A vibration magnetometer placed in magnetic
meridian has a small bar magnet. The magnet
executes oscillations with a time period of 2 s in
earth's horizontal magnetic field of 24 microtesla.
When a horizontal field of 18 microtesla is
produced opposite to the earth's field by placing a
current carrying wire, the new time period of
magnet will be:
