An $\alpha$ particle and proton are accelerated in cyclotron under idential conditions. Find the ratio of their cyclotron frequncy
Show Hint
Cyclotron frequency is proportional to the specific charge ($q/m$) of the particle. $f \propto (q/m)$. Since an alpha particle has twice the charge but four times the mass of a proton, its specific charge is half that of a proton.

In a uniform magnetic field of \(0.049 T\), a magnetic needle performs \(20\) complete oscillations in \(5\) seconds as shown. The moment of inertia of the needle is \(9.8 \times 10 kg m^2\). If the magnitude of magnetic moment of the needle is \(x \times 10^{-5} Am^2\); then the value of '\(x\)' is
