The length of a bar magnet is large compared to its width and breadth. The time period of its angular oscillation in a vibration magnetometer is 2s. The magnet is cut along its length into two equal parts and the two parts are then mounted together in the magnetometer with their like poles together. The time period of this combination will be
A. 2 s
B. 1 s
C. \(\frac{1}{2}\) s
D. \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) s
