Answer the following questions regarding earth’s magnetism: In which direction would a compass free point to, If located right on the geographic north or south pole?

A magnetic needle free to rotate about the vertical direction (compass ) point 3.5 west of the geographic north . Another magnetic needle free to rotate in a vertical plane parallel to the magnetic meridian has its north tip pointing down at 18^(@) with the horizontal . The magnitude of the horizontal component of the earth ' magnetic field at the place is known to be 0.40 G . what is the direction and magnitude of the earth's magnetic field at the place ?

At a certain location in Africa, a compass needle points 15^@ west of the geogrphic north. What is the angle of declination at the point ?

Direction. In the follwing questions, a statement of assertion is followed by a statement of reason. While answering a question, you are required to choose the correct are out of the given four responses and mark it as (A). If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, (B) if both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion. (C) if asssertion is true, but reason if false, (D) if both assertion and reason are false Assertion : The true geogrpahic north direction is found by using a compass needle. Reason : The magnetic meridian of the earth is along the axis of rotation of the earth.

A small magnet of magnetic moment pixx10^(-3) Am^(2) is placed on the Y-axis at a distance of 0.1 from the origin with its axis parallel to the X-axix. A coil have 169 turns and radius 0.05 m is placed on the X-axis at a distance of 0.12 m from the origin with the axis of the coil coinciding with the X-axis. Find the magnitude and direction of the current in the coil for a compass needle placed at the origin, to point in the north-south direction.

At a certain location in Africa, a compass points 12^@ west of the geographic north. The north tip of the magnetic needle of a dip circle placed in the plane of magnetic meridian points 60^@ above the horizontal. The horizontal component of the earth’s field is measured to be 0.16 G. Specify the direction and magnitude of the earth’s field at the location.

Direction. In the following questions, a statement of assertion is followed by a statement of reason. While answering a question, you are required to choose the correct are out of the given four responses and mark it as (A)If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, (B) if both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion. (C) if assertion is true, but reason if false, (D) if both assertion and reason are false Assertion : If a compass needle be kept at magnetic north pole of the earth, the compass needle may stay in any direction. Reason : Dip needle is vertical at the north pole of the earth.

Work done to move a charge along a closed path inside an electric field is always zero. Use this fact to prove that it is impossible to produce an electric field in which all the lines of force would be parallel straight lines and the density of their distribution would constantly increase in a direction perpendicular to the lines of force as shown in Figure.​
