$A$ bar magnet of magnetic moment $M$ and moment of inertia $I$ (about its center,perpendicular to its length) is cut into two equal pieces,perpendicular to its length. Let $T$ be the period of oscillation of the original magnet about an axis through its midpoint,perpendicular to its length,in a uniform magnetic field $B$. What would be the period $T'$ for each piece?

  • A
    $T/2$
  • B
    $T$
  • C
    $T/4$
  • D
    $T/\sqrt{2}$
