Question 95 of 153
A thin strip long is on a shaped wire of negligible resistance and it is connected to a spring of spring constant (see figure). The assembly is kept in a uniform magnetic field of If the strip is pulled from its equilibrium position and released, the number of oscillations it performs before its amplitude decreases by a factor of is . If the mass of the strip is grams, its resistance and air drag negligible, will be close to:

Show answer and solution
Answer: (B)
Equation of motion for slider:
Comparing with
We know:
For amplitude to be
Time period =
Number of oscillations =
