Define angle of dip. and Write the definition of declination.
A magnetic compass needle oscillates $30$ times per minute at a place where the dip is $45^o$, and $40$ times per minute where the dip is $30^o$. If $B_1$ and $B_2$ are respectively the total magnetic field due to the earth at the two places, then the ratio $B_1/B_2$ is best given by
The line on the earth's surface joining the points where the field is horizontal is
The magnetic needle of a tangent galvanometer is deflected at an angle $30^o$ due to a magnet. The horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field $0.34 \times {10^{ - 4}}\,T$ is along the plane of the coil. The magnetic intensity is
The true value of angle of dip at a place is $60^o$, the apparent dip in a plane inclined at an angle of $30^o$ with magnetic meridian is
The angle of dip at the magnetic equator is....$^o$
