उत्तर
0°
Explanation:
`"B"_"V"/"B"_"H"` = tanΦ
As, BV = 0, tanΦ = 0 ⇒ Φ = 0°

A magnetic needle, free to rotate in a vertical plane, orients itself vertically at a certain place on the Earth. What are the values of (i) Horizontal component of Earth’s magnetic field and (ii) angle of dip at this place?
What is the angle of dip at a place where the horizontal and vertical components of the Earth’s magnetic field are equal?
Where on the surface of Earth is the angle of dip zero?
The reduction factor K of a tangent galvanometer is written on the instrument. The manual says that the current is obtained by multiplying this factor to tan θ. The procedure works well at Bhuwaneshwar. Will the procedure work if the instrument is taken to Nepal? If there is same error, can it be corrected by correcting the manual or the instrument will have to be taken back to the factory?
A compass needle which is allowed to move in a horizontal plane is taken to a geomagnetic pole. It ______.
To keep valuable instruments away from the earth's magnetic field, they are enclosed in iron boxes. Explain.
What is the angle of dip at a place where the horizontal component `(B_H)` and vertical component `(B_V)` of earth’s magnetic field are equal :
The horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field at a place is `1/sqrt(3)` time the vertical component. Determine the angle of dip at that place.

The earth’s magnetic field varies from point to point in space. Does it also change with time? If so, on what time scale does it change appreciably?
The earth’s core is known to contain iron. Yet geologists do not regard this as a source of the earth’s magnetism. Why?
The earth may have even reversed the direction of its field several times during its history of 4 to 5 billion years. How can geologists know about the earth’s field in such distant past?
Interstellar space has an extremely weak magnetic field of the order of 10–12 T. Can such a weak field be of any significant consequence? Explain.
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.
A long straight horizontal cable carries a current of 2.5 A in the direction 10° south of west to 10° north of east. The magnetic meridian of the place happens to be 10° west of the geographic meridian. The earth’s magnetic field at the location is 0.33 G, and the angle of dip is zero. Locate the line of neutral points (ignore the thickness of the cable)? (At neutral points, magnetic field due to a current-carrying cable is equal and opposite to the horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field.)
