A dip circle is taken to geomagnetic equator. The needle is allowed to move in a vertical plane perpendicular to the magnetic meridian. The needle will stay

one end of a spring of natural length h and spring constant k is fixed at the ground and the other is fitted with a smooth ring of mass m which is allowed to slide on a horizontal rod fixed at a height h figure. Initially, the spring makes an angle of 37^0 with the vertical when the system is released from rest. find the speed of the ring when the spring becomes vertical.

Figure shows as rod of length 20 cm pivoted near an end and which is made to rotate in a horizontal plane with a constant angular speed. A ball ofmass m is spuspended by a string angular also of length 20 cm from the other end of the rod. If the angle theta made by the stirng with the vertical is 30^0 . find the anglular speed of the rotation. Take g=10 m/s^2

A closely wound solenoid of 2000 turns and are of cross - section 1.6xx10^(-4)m^2 carrying a current of 4.0 A , is suspended through its centre allowing it to turn in a horizontal plane. a. What is the magnetic moment associated with the solenoid ? b. What is the force and torque on the solenoid if a uniform horizontal magnetic field of 7.5xx10^(-2)T is set up at an angle of 30^@ with the axis of the solenoid ?

Answer the following questions regarding earth's magnetism. a. A vector needs three quantities conventionally used to specify the earth's magnetic field. b. The angle of dip at a location in southern India is about 18^@ . Would you expect a greater or smaller dip angle in Britain ? c. If you made a map of magnetic field lines at Melboune in Australia, would the lines seem to go into the groung or come out of the ground ? d. In which direction would a compass free to move in the vertical plane point to , if located right on the geomagnetic north or south pole ? e. the earth' s field, it is claimed roughly approximates the field due to a dipole of magnetic moment 8 xx10^(22)JT^(-1) located at its centre. Check the order of magnitude of this number in some way. f. Geologists claim that besides the main magnetic N - S poles, there are several local poles on the earth's surface oriented in different directions. How is such a thing possible at all ?

A magnetic needle is free to rotate in a vertical plance which makes an angle of 60^@ with the magnetic meridian. If the needle stays in a direction making an angle of tan^(-1) (2sqrt(3)) with the horizontal, what would be the dip at that place?

A magnetic needle free to rotate in a vertical plane parallel to the magnetic meridian has its north tip 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.

Let I_(1) and I_(2) be the steady currents passing through a long horizontal wire XY and PQ respectively. The wire PQ is fixed in horizontal plane and the wire XY be is allowed to move freely in a vertical plane. Let the wire XY is in equilibrium at a height d over the parallel wire PQ as shown in figure.
