    If a magnet is suspended at an angle \[30{}^\circ \] to the magnetic meridian, it makes an angle of \[45{}^\circ \] with the horizontal. The real dip is

    A)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} \right)\]                

    B)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)\]

    C)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \sqrt{3} \right)\]                   

    D)  \[{{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Let the real dip be \[\phi ,\] then \[\tan \phi =\frac{{{B}_{V}}}{{{B}_{H}}}\] For apparent dip,-     ? \[\tan \phi =\frac{{{B}_{V}}}{{{B}_{H}}\cos \beta }=\frac{{{B}_{V}}}{{{B}_{H}}\cos 30{}^\circ }\] \[=\frac{2{{B}_{V}}}{\sqrt{3}{{B}_{H}}}\] or     \[\tan 45{}^\circ =\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\tan \phi \] \[\phi ={{\tan }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right)\]
