Answer :
(a) Number of turns in the coil (n) = 30
Radius of coil (r) = 12cm = 0.12m
Current in the coil (I) = 0.35A
Angle of dip (δ) = 45o
Magnetic fields due to current carrying coils (B) =
where, μ0 = Permeability of free space = 4π × 10-7TmA1
B =
= 5.49 × 10-5 T
∴ Horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field = B sinδ
= 5.49 × 10-5 T × sin45o
= 5.49 × 10-5 T × 0.707
= 3.88 × 10-5 T
(b) When the current in the coil is reversed, and the coil is rotated about its vertical axis by an angle of 90° in the anticlockwise sense looking from above, then the needle will reverse its original direction (i.e. the needle will point from East to West).
