Earth's Magnetism
Question

A magnetic needle is oscillating in earth’s horizontal field BH with a time period of 0.5 sec. A dip needle of same magnetic dipole moment, mass and geometry oscillator in earth’s vertical field BVwith a time period of 1 sec. Then angle of dip at that place is

Moderate
Solution

T1=2πIMBHandT2=2πIMBV
