A metal wire of linear mass density is stretched with a tension of between two rigid supports apart. The wire passes at its middle point between the poles of a magnet and it vibrates in resonance when carrying an alternating current of frequency . The frequency of the alternating source is:
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The wire vibrates in resonance with the AC frequency. Since it is plucked/passed through a magnet at the middle, it vibrates in its fundamental mode.Fundamental frequency Linear mass density $
