Before using the tangent galvanometer,its coil is set in

  • A
    Magnetic meridian (or vertically north-south)
  • B
    Perpendicular to magnetic meridian
  • C
    At an angle of $45^\circ$ to magnetic meridian
  • D
    It does not require any setting

Two bar magnets $A$ and $B$ are geometrically similar but the magnetic moment of $A$ is twice that of $B$. $T_1$ is the time period of oscillation when their like poles are kept together. When unlike poles are kept together,the time period of oscillation is $T_2$. The ratio $T_1: T_2$ will be

$A$ vibration magnetometer consists of two identical bar magnets placed one over the other such that they are mutually perpendicular and bisect each other. The time period of oscillation in a horizontal magnetic field is $4 \, s$. If one of the magnets is taken away,find the period of oscillation of the other in the same field (in $s$):-

At a certain place,a magnet makes $30$ oscillations per minute. At another place,if the magnetic induction is increased to two times the magnetic induction at the first place,then the time period of the same magnet will be:

$A$ magnetic needle oscillates in a horizontal plane with a period $T$ at a place where the angle of dip is $60^{\circ}$. When the same needle is made to oscillate in a vertical plane coinciding with the magnetic meridian,its period will be
