The relations among the three elements of Earth's magnetic field,namely horizontal component $H$,vertical component $V$,and angle of dip $\delta$ are,($B_{E} =$ total magnetic field):

  • A
    $V=B_{E} \tan \delta, H=B_{E}$
  • B
    $V=B_{E} \sin \delta, H=B_{E} \cos \delta$
  • C
    $V=B_{E} \cos \delta, H=B_{E} \sin \delta$
  • D
    $V=B_{E}, H=B_{E} \tan \delta$

If a magnet is suspended at an angle $30^o$ to the magnetic meridian,it makes an angle of $45^o$ with the horizontal. The real dip is

$A$ compass needle oscillates $20$ times per minute at a place where the dip is $30^{\circ}$ and $30$ times per minute where the dip is $60^{\circ}$. The ratio of total magnetic field due to the earth at the two places respectively is $\frac{4}{\sqrt{x}}$. The value of $x$ is $............$.

At a place,the earth's horizontal component of magnetic field is $0.36 \times 10^{-4} \ Wb/m^2$. If the angle of dip at that place is $60^o$,then the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field at that place in $Wb/m^2$ will be approximately:
