$A$ magnetic needle is free to rotate in a vertical plane which makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the magnetic meridian. If the needle stays in a direction making an angle of $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$ with the horizontal,the true dip value at that place is: (in $^{\circ}$)

  • A
    $60$
  • B
    $30$
  • C
    $45$
  • D
    $37$

At some location on Earth,the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field is $18 \times 10^{-6} \ T$. At this location,a magnetic needle of length $0.12 \ m$ and pole strength $1.8 \ A \ m$ is suspended from its mid-point using a thread. It makes a $45^{\circ}$ angle with the horizontal in equilibrium. To keep this needle horizontal,the vertical force that should be applied at one of its ends is:

Earth's magnetic field always has a horizontal component except at,or the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field remains zero at:

The true value of the angle of dip at a place is $60^o$. The apparent dip in a plane inclined at an angle of $30^o$ with the magnetic meridian is:

If the dip circle is set at $45^{\circ}$ to the magnetic meridian,then the apparent dip is $30^{\circ}$. The true dip of the place is:
