Two bar magnets with magnetic moments 2 M and M are fastened together at right angles to each other at their centres to form a crossed system, which can rotate freely about a vertical axis through the centre. The crossed system sets in earth’s magnetic field with magnet having magnetic moment 2M making an angle θ with the magnetic meridian such that

(a) θ=tan-113            (b) θ=tan-13

(c) θ=tan-112               (d) θ=tan-134

A magnet is suspended in such a way that it oscillates in the horizontal plane. It makes 20 oscillations per minute at a place where dip angle is 30o and 15 oscillations per minute at a place where dip angle is 60o. The ratio of total earth's magnetic field at the two places is

1. 33:8                      2. 16:93

3. 4:9                           4. 23:9

A bar magnet A of magnetic moment MA is found to oscillate at a frequency twice that of magnet B having identical size as magnet A, of magnetic moment MB when placed in a vibrating magneto-meter. We may say that

(1) MA=2MB                 

(2) MA = 8MB

(3) MA = 4MB                 

(4) MB = 8MA
