Assertion: If a compass needle is kept at the magnetic north pole of the Earth,the compass needle may stay in any direction.
Reason: $A$ dip needle will stay vertical at the north pole of the Earth.

$A$ dip circle is adjusted so that its needle moves freely in the magnetic meridian. In this position,the angle of dip is $40^{\circ}$. Now the dip circle is rotated so that the plane in which the needle moves makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the magnetic meridian. In this position,the needle will dip by an angle:

The lines of force due to the Earth's horizontal component of the magnetic field are:

If ${\phi_1}$ and ${\phi_2}$ are the angles of dip observed in two vertical planes at right angles to each other and ${\phi}$ is the true angle of dip,then:
