Which of the following statements is not true?

  • A
    While taking readings of a tangent galvanometer,the plane of the coil must be set at right angles to the earth's magnetic meridian.
  • B
    $A$ short magnet is used in a tangent galvanometer since a long magnet would be heavy and may not easily move.
  • C
    Measurements with the tangent galvanometer will be more accurate when the deflection is around $45^\circ$.
  • D
    $A$ tangent galvanometer cannot be used in the polar region.

The magnetic needle of a tangent galvanometer is deflected at an angle $30^{\circ}$ due to a magnet. The horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is $0.34 \times 10^{-4} \text{ T}$,which is along the plane of the coil. The magnetic field due to the magnet is:

When two magnetic moments are compared using the equal distance method,the deflections produced are $45^\circ$ and $30^\circ$. If the lengths of the magnets are in the ratio $1:2$,the ratio of their pole strengths is:

Two bar magnets having the same geometry with magnetic moments $M$ and $2M$ are first placed in such a way that their similar poles are on the same side,and their time period of oscillation is $T_{1}$. Now,the polarity of one of the magnets is reversed,and the time period of oscillation becomes $T_{2}$. Then:
