Answer the following questions regarding earth's magnetism:
$(a)$ $A$ vector needs three quantities for its specification. Name the three independent quantities conventionally used to specify the earth's magnetic field.
$(b)$ The angle of dip at a location in southern India is about $18^o$. Would you expect a greater or smaller dip angle in Britain?
$(c)$ If you made a map of magnetic field lines at Melbourne in Australia,would the lines seem to go into the ground or come out of the ground?
$(d)$ In which direction would a compass free to move in the vertical plane point to,if located right on the geomagnetic north or south pole?
$(e)$ The earth's field,it is claimed,roughly approximates the field due to a dipole of magnetic moment $8 \times 10^{22} \, J \, T^{-1}$ located at its centre. Check the order of magnitude of this number in some way.
$(f)$ Geologists claim that besides the main magnetic $N-S$ poles,there are several local poles on the earth's surface oriented in different directions. How is such a thing possible at all?

The pole near the geographic north pole is called ...... . The pole near the geographic south pole is called ...... .

The value of horizontal component of earth's magnetic field at a place is $0.35 \times 10^{-4} \,T$. If the angle of dip is $60^{\circ}$,the value of vertical component of earth's magnetic field is nearly ............. $\times 10^{-4} \,T$.

If $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ are the apparent angles of dip observed in two vertical planes at right angles to each other,then the true angle of dip $\theta$ is given by:
