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 compass needle free to turn in a horizontal plane is placed at the centre of a circular coil of 30turns and radius 12cm. The coil is in a vertical plane malting an angle of 45^(@) with the magnetic meridian when the current in the coil is 0.35A, the needle points west to east. Determine the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field at the location.
