Two bar magnets oscillate in a horizontal plane in earth’s magnetic field with time periods of 3 s and 4 s respectively. If their moments of inertia are in the ratio of 3 : 2, then the ratio of their magnetic moments will be :
2 : 1
8 : 3
1 : 3
27 : 16
The correct answer is (B) : 8 : 3
\(T=2π\sqrt{\frac{I}{MB_H}}\)
\(⇒\frac{T_1}{T_2}=\sqrt{\frac{I_1}{I_2}}\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}\)
\(⇒\frac{3}{4}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}\)
\(\frac{M_1}{M_2}=\frac{3}{2}\times\frac{16}{9}\)
\(=\frac{8}{3}\)
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : If oxygen ion (O\(^{-2}\)) and Hydrogen ion (H\(^{+}\)) enter normal to the magnetic field with equal momentum, then the path of O\(^{-2}\) ion has a smaller curvature than that of H\(^{+}\).
Reason R : A proton with same linear momentum as an electron will form a path of smaller radius of curvature on entering a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
A loop ABCD, carrying current $ I = 12 \, \text{A} $, is placed in a plane, consists of two semi-circular segments of radius $ R_1 = 6\pi \, \text{m} $ and $ R_2 = 4\pi \, \text{m} $. The magnitude of the resultant magnetic field at center O is $ k \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T} $. The value of $ k $ is ______ (Given $ \mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T m A}^{-1} $) 



Magnets are used in many devices like electric bells, telephones, radio, loudspeakers, motors, fans, screwdrivers, lifting heavy iron loads, super-fast trains, especially in foreign countries, refrigerators, etc.
Magnetite is the world’s first magnet. This is also called a natural magnet. Though magnets occur naturally, we can also impart magnetic properties to a substance. It would be an artificial magnet in that case.
