A small compass needle of magnetic moment .m. is free to turn about an axis perpendicular to the direction of uniform magnetic field .B.. The moment of inertia of the needle about the axis is .I.. The needle is slightly disturbed from its stable position and then released. Prove that it executes simple harmonic motion. Hence deduce the expression for its time period.
