A magnet takes a minute to make 30 oscillations in a magnetic field. If the field strength is doubled, then the time period of oscillation (in sec) is

A

`sqrt(2)`

B

`2sqrt(2)`

C

`(sqrt(3))/(2)`

D

`sqrt(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Time period of oscillation
`T=2pisqrt((I)/(MB_(H)))`
`therefore (T_(2)^(2))/(T_(1)^(2))=(B_(1))/(B_(2))`
`(T_(2)^(2))/((2)^(2))=(B)/(2B)`
`T_(2)^(2)=(4)/(2)`
`T_(2)=sqrt(2)s`
