If the dip circle is set at $45^{\circ}$ to the magnetic meridian,then the apparent dip is $30^{\circ}$. The true dip of the place is:

  • A
    $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\right)$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
  • D
    $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$

The Earth's magnetic field was flipped by $180^{\circ}$ a million years ago. This flip was relatively rapid and took $10^5 \, \text{years}$. Then, the average change in orientation per year during the flip was closest to ............ $s$.

Explain magnetic declination.

$A$ dip needle lies initially in the magnetic meridian when it shows an angle of dip $\theta$ at a place. The dip circle is rotated through an angle $x$ in the horizontal plane and then it shows an angle of dip $\theta'$. Then $\frac{\tan \theta'}{\tan \theta}$ is

At a certain place, the angle of dip is $60^{\circ}$ and the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field $(B_H)$ is $0.8 \times 10^{-4} \,T$. The earth's overall magnetic field is
