A short magnetic needle is pivoted in a uniform magnetic field of strength $1 \,T.$  When another magnetic field of strength $\sqrt 3 \,T$ is applied to the needle in a perpendicular direction, the needle deflects through an angle $\theta$, where $\theta$ is....$^o$

The angle of dip at a place is $40.6°$ and the intensity of the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field $V = 6 \times {10^{ - 5}}$ $Tesla$. The total intensity of the earth's magnetic field $ (I) $ at this place is

At which place, earth's magnetism become horizontal

A dip circle lies initially in the magnetic meridian, it shows an angle of dip $\delta$ at a place. The dip circle is rotated through an angle $\alpha$ in the horizontal plane and then it shows an angle of dip $\delta^{\prime}$. Hence $\frac{\tan \delta^{\prime}}{\tan \delta}$ is

Two bar magnets oscillate in a horizontal plane in earth's magnetic field with time periods of $3\,s$ and $4\,s$ respectively. If their moments of inertia are in the ratio of $3: 2$ then the ratio of their magnetic moments will e.
