The dip at a place is delta. For measuring it, the axis of the dip needle is perpendicular to the magnetic meridian. If the axis of the dip needle makes angle theta with the magnetic meridian, the apparent dip will be given tan delta_(1) which is equal to:

A dip needle vibrates in the vertical plane perpendicular to the magnetic meridian. The time period of vibration is found to be 2 sec. The same needle is then allowed to vibrate in the horizontal plane and the time period is again found to be 2 seconds. Then the angle of dip is

A dip circle is taken to geomagnetic equator. The needle is allowed to move in a vertical plane perpendicular to the magnetic meridian. The needle will stay

Two small magnets are placed horizontally perpendicular to magnetic meridian. Their north poles are at 30cm east and 20cm west from a compass needle. Compare the magnetic moments of the magnets, if compass needle remains undeflected.

Two short magnets with their axes horizontal and perpendicular to the magnetic maridian are palced with their centres 40 cm east and 50 cm west of magnetic needle.If the needle remains undeflected, the ratio of their magnetic moments M_(1):M_(2) is
