$A$ compass needle is free to rotate in a horizontal plane. Its magnetic moment is $60 \ Am^2$. When it is pointing geographical north,it experiences a torque of $1.2 \times 10^{-3} \ Nm$ due to the Earth's magnetic field. If the Earth's magnetic field in the horizontal direction is $40 \times 10^{-6} \ T$,what is the declination in degrees at that place?

$A$ 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 $4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \, N/A^2$):
