For a vibration magnetometer, the time period of the suspended bar magnet can be reduced by:

1.  moving it towards the south pole
2.  moving it towards the north pole
3.  moving it towards the equator
4.  anyone of them

Two bar magnets having the same geometry with magnetic moments \(M\) and \(2M\) are firstly placed in such a way that if their similar poles are on the same side then their time period of oscillation is \(T_1\). Now if the polarity of one of the magnets is reversed then the time period of oscillation is \(T_2\). The relation between \(T_1\) & \(T_2\) is:
1. \(T_1<T_2\)
2. \(T_1=T_2\)
3. \(T_1>T_2\)
4. \(T_2 = \infty\)
