A bar magnet is hung by a thin cotton thread in a uniform horizontal magnetic field and is in the equilibrium state. The energy required to rotate it by \(60^{\circ}\) is \(W\)Now the torque required to keep the magnet in this new position is:
1. \(\frac{W}{\sqrt{3}}\) 
2. \(\sqrt{3} W\)
3. \(\frac{\sqrt{3} W}{2}\) 
4. \(\frac{2 W}{\sqrt{3}}\)

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

 

(a) 1s          (b) 2s

(c) 3s          (d) 4s
