$A$ magnetic compass needle oscillates $30$ times per minute at a place where the angle of dip is $45^{\circ}$, and $40$ times per minute at a place where the angle of dip is $30^{\circ}$. 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 angle of dip is $90^{\circ}$ at:

$A$ dip circle is adjusted so that its needle moves freely in the magnetic meridian. In this position,the angle of dip is $40^{\circ}$. Now the dip circle is rotated so that the plane in which the needle moves makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the magnetic meridian. In this position,the needle will dip by an angle:

At a given place on the Earth,the angle between the Magnetic Meridian and the Geographic Meridian is called . . . . . . .

The vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field is zero at:
