A magnetic needle free to rotate in a horizontal plane is placed at the centre of a circular current-carrying coil whose axis is perpendicular to the magnetic meridian at that place. It is also known that the magnetic declination at this place is zero and in this condition, the magnetic needle is pointing towards conditions, the magnetic needle is pointing towards the north-west. Now, if we reverse the direction of current in the coil, then the magnetic needle will

A dip circle is at right angles to the magnetic meridian. What will be the apparent dip ?

A vertical circular coil of one turn and radius 9.42 cm is placed with its plane in the magnetic meridian and short magnetic needle is pivoted at the centre of the coil so that it can freely rotate in the horizontal plane. If a current of 6A is passed through the coil, then the needle deflects by (B_(H) = 4 xx 10^(-5)T)

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
