The horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field at a place is $3.5 \times 10^{-5} \,T$. $A$ very long straight conductor carrying a current of $\sqrt{2} \,A$ in the direction from South-East to North-West is placed. The force per unit length experienced by the conductor is $..............$ $\times 10^{-6} \,N/m$.

Explain magnetic declination.

$A$ magnet is suspended in such a way that it oscillates in the horizontal plane. It makes $20$ oscillations per minute at a place where the dip angle is $30^{\circ}$ and $15$ oscillations per minute at a place where the dip angle is $60^{\circ}$. The ratio of the total Earth's magnetic field at the two places is:
