उत्तर
Let the true value of dip be Φ. When the magnet is kept 45° aligned with declination 30°, the horizontal component of Earth’s magnetic field.
B’H = BH cos 30° Whereas, the vertical component remains unchanged.
∴ For an apparent dip of 45°,
tan 45° = `"B"_"V"^′/"B"_"H"^′="B"_"V"/("B"_"H"cos30°)="B"_"V"/"B"_"H"xx1/(cos30°)`
But, real value of dip is,
tan Φ = `"B"_"V"/"B"_"H"`
∴ tan 45° = `tanΦ/(cos30°)`
∴ tan Φ = tan 45° × cos 30°
= `1xxsqrt3/2`
∴ Φ = tan−1 (0.866)
The true value of angle of dip is tan−1 (0.866).

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 14 cm from the centre of the magnet. The earth’s magnetic field at the place is 0.36 G and the angle of dip is zero.
