$A$ compass needle which is allowed to move in a horizontal plane is taken to a geomagnetic pole. It

The earth's magnetic field lines resemble that of a dipole at the centre of the earth. If the magnetic moment of this dipole is close to $8 \times 10^{22} \text{ Am}^2$,the value of earth's magnetic field near the equator is close to $.... \text{ Gauss}$ (radius of the earth $= 6.4 \times 10^6 \text{ m}$)

Isogonic lines on a magnetic map will have

$A$ long vertical wire carries a steady current of $5.0 \, A$. $A$ sensitive magnetic compass is placed in a plane perpendicular to the wire and $10.0 \, cm$ south of it. It registers a deflection of $60^{\circ}$ north of east. The magnitude of the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is (permeability of free space is $4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \, N/A^2$):

$A$ compass needle oscillates $20$ times per minute at a place where the dip is $30^{\circ}$ and $30$ times per minute where the dip is $60^{\circ}$. The ratio of total magnetic field due to the earth at the two places respectively is $\frac{4}{\sqrt{x}}$. The value of $x$ is $............$.

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:
