Question
A bar magnet takes $\frac{\pi}{10}$ second to complete one oscillation in an oscillation magnetometer. The moment of inertia of the magnet about the axis of rotation is $1.2 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~kg}-\mathrm{m}^2$ and the earth's horizontal magnetic field is $30\mu \text{T}.$ Find the magnetic moment of the magnet.

Answer

We know: $\text{v}=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac}{\text{mB}_\text{H}}{\text{I}}$For like poles tied together
$M=M_1-M_2$
For unlike poles $\mathrm{M}^{\prime}=\mathrm{M}_1+\mathrm{M}_2$
$\frac{\text{v}_1}{\text{v}_2}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{M}_1-\text{M}_2}{\text{M} _1-\text{M}_2}}\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{10}{2}\Big)^2$
$=\frac{\text{M}_1-\text{M}_2}{\text{M}_1+\text{M}_2}\Rightarrow25=\frac{\text{M}_1-\text{M}_2}{\text{M}_1+\text{M}_2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{26}{24}=\frac{2\text{M}_1}{2\text{M}_2}\Rightarrow\frac{\text{M}_1}{\text{M}_2}=\frac{13}{12}$

The saturation current from a thoriated-tungsten cathode at 2000 K is 100 mA . What will be the saturation current for a pure-tungsten cathode of the same surface area operating at the same temperature? The constant A in the Richardson-Dushman equation is $60 \times 10^4 \mathrm{Am}^{-2} \mathrm{~K}^{-2}$ for pure tungsten and $3.0 \times 10^4 \mathrm{Am}^{-2} \mathrm{k}^{-2}$ for thoriated tungsten. The work function of pure tungsten is 4.5 eV and that of thoriated tungsten is 2.6 eV .

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5.In physics, we can classify quantities as scalars or vectors. Basically, the difference is that a direction is associated with a vector but not with a scalar. A scalar quantity is a quantity with magnitude only. It is specified completely by a single number, along with the proper unit. Examples are: the distance between two points, mass of an object, the temperature of a body and the time at which a certain event happened. The rules for combining scalars are the rules of ordinary algebra. Scalars can be added, subtracted, multiplied and divided just as the ordinary numbers. A vector quantity is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction and obeys the triangle law of addition or equivalently the parallelogram law of addition. So, a vector is specified by giving its magnitude by a number and its direction. Some physical quantities that are represented by vectors are displacement, velocity, acceleration and force. Answer the following
  1. Force is example of:
  1. Scalar
  2. Vector
  3. Tensor
  4. None of these
  1. Mass of an object is:
  1. Scalar
  2. Vector
  3. Tensor
  4. None of these

  1. Differentiate between scalar and vectors
