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 $\theta$ with the magnetic meridian such that

(a) $\theta ={\tan }^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$            (b) $\theta ={\tan }^{-1}\left(\sqrt{3}\right)$

The angle of dip at a certain place is 30^o. If the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field is H, the intensity of the total magnetic field is

1. $\frac{H}{2}$                            2. $\frac{2H}{\sqrt{3}}$

3. $H\sqrt{2}$                         4. $H\sqrt{3}$

The time period of oscillation of a freely suspended bar magnet with usual notations is given by
