Question
Define the term magnetic inclination. Deduce the relation connecting the horizontal component and inclination with the help of a diagram.
✓
Answer
Magnetic Inclination: It is the angle made by resultant magnetic field of earth with the horizontal. It is also called angle of dip. Relation: suppose $\overrightarrow{\text{Be}}$ is earth’s net magnetic field, $\theta$ is angle of dip. Resolving $\overrightarrow{\text{Be}}$ along horizontal and vertical directions; the horizontal component is H and vertical component is V. From fig. $\therefore\text{ H=Be}\cos\theta$ This is the required relation.

A p-n junction germanium diode when forward biased has a drop of 0.3V which is assumed to be independent of current. The current in excess of 10mA through the diode produces a large Joule-heating which damages (burns) the diode. If we want to use a 1.5V battery to forward-bias the diode, what should be the value of resistor used in series with the diode, so that the maximum current does not exceed 6mA?
