A metalic ring connected to a rod oscillates freely like a pendulum. If now a magnetic field is applied in horizontal diection so that the pendulum now swings through the field, the pendulum will

A simple pendulum oscillates freely between points A and B. We now put a peg (nail) at some point C as shown. As the pendulum moves from A to the right, the string will bend at C and the pendulum will go to its extreme points D. Ignoring friction, the point D

A conducting rod of 1 m length and 1 kg mass is suspended by two verticle wires through its ends. An external magnetic field of 2T is applied normal to the rod. Now the current to be passed through the rod so as to make the tension in the wire zero is [Take g = 10 ms^(-2)]

A small magnet oscillating horizontally in the earth's magnetic field has a time period of 4 s. When another magnet is brought near it, it completes 50 oscillations in 160 s. Compare the magnetic field due to the magnet and the horizontal component of earth's field when (i) both the fields are in the same direction and (ii) the fields are in opposite directions.

A neutral pendulum oscillates in a uniform electric field as shown in figure. If a positive charge is given to the pendulum, then its time period
