A vibration magnetometer placed in magnetic meridian has a small bar magnet. The magnet executes oscillations with a time period of 2 s in earth's horizontal magnetic field of 24 microtesla. When a horizontal field of 18 microtesla is produced opposite to the earth's field by placing a current carrying wire, the new time period of magnet will be

1. 1 s
2. 2 s
3. 3 s
4. 4 s

If a diamagnetic substance is brought near the north or the south pole of a bar magnet, it is

2. attracted by the north pole and repelled by the south pole
3. attracted by both the poles
4. repelled by both the poles

A bar magnet having a magnetic moment of 2 104 J T-1 is free to rotate in a horizontal plane. A horizontal magnetic field B = 6 10-4 T exists in the space. The work done in taking the magnet slowly from a direction parallel to the field to a direction 60 from the field is

1. 12 J
2. 6 J
3. 2 J
4. 0.6 J
