JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 5. Magnetism and matter
A magnet hung at \(45^{\circ}\) with magnetic meridian makes an angle of \(60^{\circ}\) with the horizontal. The actual value of the angle of dip is.
- A \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\right)\)
- B \(\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{6})\)
- C \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\right)\)
- D \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}}\right)\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\right)\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\tan \theta^{\prime}=\frac{\tan \theta}{\cos \alpha}\) \(\theta^{\prime}=60^{\circ}\) \(\alpha=45^{\circ}\) \(\sqrt{3}=\frac{\tan \theta}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\) \(\tan \theta=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\) \(\theta=\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}\)
