108. A bar magnet is put on the hanger of oscillation magnetometer and is made to oscillate in earth's magnetic field.
Frequency of oscillation of bar magnet is found to be 3 Hz at a place where horizontal component of earth's
magnetic field is 25 T. Now a short magnet is placed to the north of magnetometer in such a manner that its
North Pole points towards north. Distance of short magnet from the bar magnet hanging inside the
magnetometer is 1 m. Frequency of oscillation now becomes 6 Hz. What is magnetic moment of short magnet?
0.750
Ans. M  Am 2

109. A circular coil of 16 turns radius 10 cm and carrying a current of 0.75 A rests with its plane normal to an
external field of magnitude 5.0 × 10-2T. The coil is free to turn about an axis in its plane perpendicular to the
field direction. When the coil is turned slightly and released, it oscillates about its stable equilibrium with
frequency of 2.0 s-1. What is the moment of inertia of the coil bout its axis of rotation?
Ans. I = 1.194 × 10-4 kgm2
