What are
i. Magnetic declination
ii. Magnetie dip
iii. Horizontal component of earth.s magnetic field at a place?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Mangetic declination : It is the angle between the geographic meridian and the magnetic meridian.
(ii) Magnetic dip (Or Inclination) : It is the angle between the earth total magnetic field and its component along the horizontal at a place.
(iii) Horizontal component of earth.s magnetic field `(B_(H))` : It the component of earth.s total magnetic field along the horizontal direction at a place.

The strength of the Earth's magnetic field is

A circular coil of radius 10 cm, 500 turns and resistance 2 Omega is placed with its plane perpendicular to the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field. It is rotated about its vertical diameter through 180^@ in 0.25 s. Estimate the magnitudes of the emf and current induced in the coil. Horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field at the place is 3.0 ×x 10^(-5) T.

A wheel with 10 metallic spokes each 0.5 m long is rotated with a speed of 120 rev/min in a plane normal to the horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field H_E at a place. If H_E = 0.4 G at the place, what is the induced emf between the axle and the rim of the wheel? Note that 1 G = 10^(-4) T.

What are horizontal and vertical components of earth's total magnetic field ?

A magnetic needle free to rotate in a vertical plane parallel to the magnetic meridian has its north up pointing down at 22^@ with the horizontal. The horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field at the place is known to be 0.35 G. Determine the magnitude of the earth's magnetic field at the place.

In the magnetic meridian of a certain place, the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is 0.26G and the dip angle is 60^(@) . What is the magnetic field of the earth at this location?
