Question
The angle of dip is the angle
✓
Answer
(c) The angle of dip is the angle between the direction of the earth's magnetic field and the plane of the horizon
Horizontal component of earth's magnetic field $=B_{H}=B \cos \theta$
Vertical component of earth's magnetic field $=B_{V}=B \sin \theta$
Now, $B \cos \theta=B \sin \theta$
$\Longrightarrow \theta=45^{\circ}$

In a particular system of units, a physical quantity can be expressed in terms of the electric charge $c$, electron mass $m_c$, Planck's constant $h$, and Coulomb's constant $k=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}$, where $\epsilon_0$ is the permittivity of vacuum. In terms of these physical constants, the dimension of the magnetic field is $[B]=[c]^\alpha\left[m_c\right]^\beta[h]^\gamma[k]^\delta$. The value of $\alpha+\beta+\gamma+\delta$ is. . . . .

As shown in the figure, two infinitely long, identical wires are bent by $90^o$ and placed in such a way that the segments $LP$ and $QM$ are along the $x-$ axis, while segments $PS$ and $QN$ are parallel to the $y-$ axis. If $OP = OQ = 4\, cm$, and the magnitude of the magnetic field at $O$ is $10^{-4}\, T$, and the two wires carry equal current (see figure), the magnitude of the current in each wire and the direction of the magnetic field at $O$ will be $(\mu_ 0 = 4\pi \times10^{-7}\, NA^{-2})$
