Q12.A magnet hung at 45° with magnetic meridian makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal. The actual value of the angle of dip is 2 (1) tan−1(√3 ) (2) tan−1(√6) (3) (4) 3 2 tan−1(√2 ) tan−1(√1 )

What This Question Tests

This question requires the application of the formula relating the true angle of dip to the apparent angle of dip when a magnet is suspended in a plane inclined to the magnetic meridian.

Concepts Tested
