The angle of dip at a place is $40.6^\circ$ and the intensity of the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field $V = 6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ Tesla}$. The total intensity of the earth's magnetic field $(I)$ at this place is:

  • A
    $7 \times 10^{-5} \text{ Tesla}$
  • B
    $6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ Tesla}$
  • C
    $5 \times 10^{-5} \text{ Tesla}$
  • D
    $9.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ Tesla}$

At a certain place,the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field is $\sqrt{3}$ times the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field. If a magnetic needle is suspended freely in the air,then it will incline:

$A$ magnetic needle is free to rotate in a vertical plane which makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the magnetic meridian. If the needle stays in a direction making an angle of $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$ with the horizontal,the true dip value at that place is: (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ magnetic compass needle oscillates $30$ times per minute at a place where the angle of dip is $45^{\circ}$,and $40$ times per minute 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:

If a magnet is suspended freely such that it can rotate about its magnetic axis,in which plane does it come to rest?

The magnetic compass is not useful for navigation near the magnetic poles because
