EasyWhich of the following statements is not true?
- AWhile taking readings of a tangent galvanometer,the plane of the coil must be set at right angles to the earth's magnetic meridian.
- B$A$ short magnet is used in a tangent galvanometer since a long magnet would be heavy and may not easily move.
- CMeasurements with the tangent galvanometer will be more accurate when the deflection is around $45^\circ$.
- D$A$ tangent galvanometer cannot be used in the polar region.

Two magnets are held together in a vibration magnetometer and are allowed to oscillate in the Earth's magnetic field. With like poles of magnets together,$12$ oscillations per minute are made,but for unlike poles together,only $4$ oscillations per minute are executed. The ratio of their magnetic moments is

View Solution$A$ short magnetic needle is pivoted in a uniform magnetic field of induction $1 \text{ T}$. Now, simultaneously another magnetic field of induction $\sqrt{3} \text{ T}$ is applied at right angles to the first field; the needle deflects through an angle $\theta$ whose value is (in $^{\circ}$)
