The magnetic needle of a vibration magnetometer makes 12 oscillations per minute in the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field. When an external short bar magnet is placed at some line, it makes 15 oscillations per minute, If the poles of the bar magnet are interchanged, the number of oscillations it makes per minute is

Options

A. `sqrt(61)`
B. `sqrt(63)`
C. `sqrt(65)`
D. `sqrt(67)`

Answer

B

Explanation

The frequency of vibration magnetometer,
`n=(1)/(2pi)sqrt((MB)/(I))`
`npropsqrtB`
Case 1 `n_(1)/(n_(2)=sqrt((B)/(B+B_(1))`
`implies12/15=sqrt((B)/(B+B_(1))`
`thereforeB_(1)=(9)/(16)B`
Case 2 `n_(2)/n_(3)=sqrt((B+B_(1))/(B-B_(1)))`
`implies15/n_(3)=sqrt((B+(9/16)B)/(B-(9/16)B))`
`therefore n_(3)=sqrt63`
