The current of 30 A is flowing in a vertical straight wire. If the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is 2 x 10-5 Tesla, then the position of the null point will be:
1. 0.9 m
2. 0.3 mm
3. 0.3 cm
4. 0.3 m
At point A on the earth's surface, the angle of dip is, . At a point B on the earth's surface, the angle of dip is, . We can interpret that:
1. | A and B are both located in the southern hemisphere. |
2. | A and B are both located in the northern hemisphere. |
3. | A is located in the southern hemisphere and B is located in the northern hemisphere. |
4. | A is located in the northern hemisphere and B is located in the southern hemisphere. |
Above Curie temperature:
