A bar magnet is oscillating in the Earth’s magnetic field with a period

T

. What happens to its period of motion if its mass is quadrupled?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Motion remains SHM with time period

= 2T

Option C (Motion remains SHM with time period = 2T) is correct because the time period of a bar magnet oscillating in Earth's magnetic field is proportional to the square root of its moment of inertia, which is proportional to its mass.
