Vedclass · Answer

(A) In a deflection magnetometer, the magnetic field due to the magnet $F$ and the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field $B_H$ are perpendicular to each other.The net magnetic field acting on the needle is $B_{net} = \sqrt{F^2 + B_H^2}$.The time period of oscillation is given by $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{m B_{net}}}$, where $I$ is the moment of inertia and $m$ is the magnetic moment of the needle.Thus, $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{m \sqrt{F^2 + B_H^2}}}$.When the magnet is removed, the only field acting is $B_H$, so $T_0 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{m B_H}}$.From the principle of the deflection magnetometer, $\frac{F}{B_H} = 	an 	heta$, which implies $F = B_H 	an 	heta$.Substituting $F$ into the expression for $T$:$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{m \sqrt{(B_H 	an 	heta)^2 + B_H^2}}} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{m B_H \sqrt{	an^2 	heta + 1}}} = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{m B_H \sec 	heta}}$.Since $\sec 	heta = \frac{1}{\cos 	heta}$, we have $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I \cos 	heta}{m B_H}} = T_0 \sqrt{\cos 	heta}$.Squaring both sides, we get $T^2 = T_0^2 \cos 	heta$.
