Q43 / 49 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Magnetic Properties of Matter

At a place the true value of angle of dip is 60°. If dip circle is rotated by ϕ° from magnetic meridian, the angle of dip is found to be tan-1⁡(2). Then the value of ϕ is

  • A
    45°
  • B
    15°
  • C
    60°
  • Correct answer
    D
    30°

Solution

tan⁡δ′=tan⁡δcos⁡xo

tan⁡tan-1⁡2=tan⁡60ocos⁡xo

Or, cos⁡x°=32

∴x=30°

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
