A vibration magnetometer placed in magnetic meredian has a samll bar magnet. The magnet executes oscillations with a time period of in Earth’s horizontal magnetic field of microtesla. When a horizontal magnetic field microtesla is produced opposite to the Eart’s field by placing a current-carrying wire, the new time period of magnet will be :

A thin diamagnetic rod is placed vertically between the poles of an electromagnet. When the current in the electromagnet is switched ON, then the diamagnetic rod is pushed up, out of the horizontal magnetic field. Hence, the rod gains gravitational potential energy. The work required to do this comes from
