A compas needle will show which of the following directions at the earth's magnetic pole?

Assertion: The magnetic poles of earth do not coincide with the geographic poles. Reason: The discrepancy between orientation of a compass and true north-south direction is known as magnetic declination.

Which materials are used in making magnetic compass needle?

A magnetic needle free to rotate in a vertical plane parallel to the magnetic meridian, has its north tip pointing down at 21^@ 48^1 with the horizontal. If the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic induction at that place is 3.5 xx 10^-5 T, determine the earth's magnetic induction at that place.

A magnetic needle is suspended freely so that it can rotate freely in the magnetic meridian. In order to keep it in the horizontal position, a weight of 0.2 g is kept on one end of the needle. If the pole strength of this needle is 20 Am, find the value of the vertical component of the earth s magnetic field, (g = 9.8 m//s^-2)
