A current carrying coil is placed with its axis perpendicular to $ N-S $ direction. Let horizontal component of earth's magnetic field be $H_o$ and magnetic field inside the loop is $H$. If a magnet is suspended inside the loop, it makes angle $\theta $ with $H$. Then $\theta $$=$
Assume the dipole model for earth’s magnetic field $\mathrm{B}$ which is given by
${{\rm{B}}_{\rm{v}}} = $ vertical component of magnetic field
$ = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}\frac{{2m\,\cos \theta }}{{{r^3}}}$
${{\rm{B}}_H} = $ Horizontal component of magnetic field
${{\rm{B}}_H} = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}\frac{{m\,\sin \theta }}{{{r^3}}}$
$\theta $ $= 90^{°}$ -latitude as measured from magnetic equator.

A telephone cable at a place has four long straight horizontal wires carrying a current of $1.0\; A$ in the same direction east to west. The earth's magnetic field at the place is $0.39 \;G ,$ and the angle of dip is $35^{\circ} .$ The magnetic declination is nearly zero. What are the resultant magnetic fields at points $4.0\; cm$ below and above the cable?
A dip circle is adjusted so that its needle moves freely in the magnetic meridian. In this position, the angle of dip is $40°$. Now the dip circle is rotated so that the plane in which the needle moves makes an angle of $30°$ with the magnetic meridian. In this position the needle will dip by an angle
