Question

The magnetic needle of a vibration magnetometer completes 10 oscillations in 92 seconds. When a small magnet is placed in the magnetic meridian 10cm due north of the needle with north pole towards south completes 15 oscillations in 69 seconds. The magnetic moment of the magnet (BH=0.3G) is

Solution

The correct option is B 0.45Am2
Let the magnetic field due to the small magnet be B at the site of oscillating needle.As the magnetic field is towards North thus the resultant magnetic field is B+BH
Using, T1=2πIMBH and T2=2πIM(B+BH) where M is the magnetic moment of the needle.
Time period, T1=9210=9.2s T2=6915=4.6s
Thus (T1T2)2=B+BHBH
Given: BH=.3G=.3×104T
(9.24.6)2=B+.3×104.3×104
B=.9×104T
Now B=μo4π2Mmd3 whereMm is the magnetic moment of the small magnet.
Thus .9×104=107×2Mm.13
Mm=.45Am2
