If a magnet is suspended at an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) to the magnetic meridian, the dip needle makes an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with the horizontal. The real dip is (A) \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\) (B) \(\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{3})\) (C) \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\right)\) (D) \(\tan ^{-1} \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The real dip angle is (D) \(\tan ^{-1} \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Understand the problem's given values

In this problem, we are given that the magnet is suspended at an angle of 30° to the magnetic meridian, and the dip needle makes an angle of 45° with the horizontal.
02

Use the tangent formula for real dip

The real dip angle \(\alpha\) can be found using the tangent formula: \[\tan(\alpha)=\frac{\tan(45^\circ)}{\cos(30^\circ)}\]
03

Calculate the values for the formula

Now, let's find the values for that formula: \(\cos(30^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) \(\tan(45^\circ) = 1\)
04

Plug the values into the formula

Now we have the necessary values to plug into the formula. \[\tan(\alpha) = \frac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\]
05

Simplify and find the real dip angle

Simplify the equation to find the value of \(\tan(\alpha)\): \[\tan(\alpha) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\] Now, find the inverse tangent of this value to get the real dip angle: \(\alpha = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)\) From the given options, the real dip angle is: (D) \(\tan ^{-1} \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Two identical conducting wires \(A O B\) and \(C O D\) are placed at right angles to each other. The wire \(A O B\) carries an electric current \(I_{1}\) and \(C O D\) carries a current \(I_{2} .\) The magnetic field on a point lying at a distance \(d\) from \(O\), in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the wires \(A O B\) and \(C O D\), will be given by [2007] (A) \(\frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \pi d}\left(I_{1}^{2}+I_{2}^{2}\right)\) (B) \(\frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \mu}\left(\frac{I_{1}+I_{2}}{d}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\) (C) \(\frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \pi d}\left(I_{1}^{2}+I_{2}^{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\) (D) \(\frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \pi d}\left(I_{1}+I_{2}\right)\)

A metal disc of radius \(R=6 \mathrm{~cm}\) is mounted on a frictionless axle. The current can flow through the axle out along the disc to a sliding contact of rim of the disc. A uniform magnetic field \(B=2 \mathrm{~T}\) is parallel to the axis of the disc. When the current is \(3 \mathrm{~A}\), the disc rotates with constant angular velocity. The frictional force at the rim between the stationary electrical contact and the rotating rim is \(9 x \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~N}\). Find the value of \(x\).

Two coaxial solenoids of different radii carry current \(I\) in the same direction. Let \(\vec{F}_{1}\) be the magnetic force on the inner solenoid due to the outer one and \(\vec{F}_{2}\) be the magnetic force on the outer solenoid due to the inner one. Then (A) \(\vec{F}_{1}\) is radially inwards and \(\vec{F}_{2}\) is radially outwards. (B) \(\vec{F}_{1}\) is radially inwards and \(\vec{F}_{2}=0\). (C) \(\vec{F}_{1}\) is radially outwards and \(\vec{F}_{2}=0\). (D) \(\vec{F}_{1}=\vec{F}_{2}=0\).
