To show that the angle of dip \( \phi \) is related to the magnetic latitude \( \lambda \) through the relation \( \tan \phi = 2 \tan \lambda \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Earth as a Magnet Consider the Earth as a short magnet with its center coinciding with the center of the Earth. The magnetic field lines emerge from the North Pole and enter at the South Pole. The angle of dip \( \phi \) is the angle made by the resultant magnetic field with the horizontal plane. ### Step 2: Define Magnetic Latitude The magnetic latitude \( \lambda \) is defined as the angle between the magnetic equator (where the magnetic field is horizontal) and the location of interest on the Earth's surface. ...

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)

Let the magnetic field on earth be modelled by that of a point magnetic dipole at the centre of earth. The angle of dip at a point on the geographical equator

A short bar magnet placed in a horizontal plane has its axis aligned along the magnetic north south direction. Null points are found on the axis of the magnet at 14cm from the centre of the magnet. The earth's magnetic field at the plane is 0*36G and the angle of dip is zero. What is the total magnetic field on the normal bisector of the magnet at the same distance as the null points (i.e. 14 cm) from the centre of the magnet? (At null points, field due to a magnet is equal and apposite to the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field).

Two coils each of 100 turns are held such that one lies in vertical plane and the other in the horizontal plane with their centres coinciding. The radius of the vetical coil is 0.20m and that of the horizontal coil is 0.30m. How will you neutralize the magnetic field of the earth at their common centre? What is the current to be passed through each coil? Horizontal component of earth's magnetic field =0.35xx10^-4T and angle of dip = 30^@ .
