If ${\phi_1}$ and ${\phi_2}$ are the angles of dip observed in two vertical planes at right angles to each other and ${\phi}$ is the true angle of dip,then:

  • A
    ${\cos ^2}\phi= {\cos ^2}{\phi_1} + {\cos ^2}{\phi_2}$
  • B
    ${\sec ^2}\phi = {\sec ^2}{\phi_1} + {\sec ^2}{\phi_2}$
  • C
    ${\tan ^2}\phi = {\tan ^2}{\phi_1} + {\tan ^2}{\phi_2}$
  • D
    ${\cot ^2}\phi= {\cot ^2}{\phi_1} + {\cot ^2}{\phi_2}$

$A$ 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:

$A$ short bar magnet placed in a horizontal plane has its axis aligned along the north-south direction. Null points are found on the axis of the magnet at $20 \ cm$ from the centre of the magnet. The Earth's magnetic field at the place is $B$ and the angle of dip is $0^{\circ}$. If the total magnetic field on the normal bisector of the magnet at $20 \ cm$ from the centre of the magnet is $0.6 \ G$,then the magnitude of $B$ is: (in $G$)

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

Which of the following relations is correct in the context of Earth's magnetism?

$A$ long straight horizontal cable carries a current of $2.5\;A$ in the direction $10^{\circ}$ south of west to $10^{\circ}$ north of east. The magnetic meridian of the place happens to be $10^{\circ}$ west of the geographic meridian. The earth's magnetic field at the location is $0.33\;G,$ and the angle of dip is zero. Locate the line of neutral points (ignore the thickness of the cable)? (At neutral points,magnetic field due to a current-carrying cable is equal and opposite to the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field.)
