A short bar magnet with its north pole facing north forms a neutral point at $P$ in the horizontal plane. If the magnet is rotated by $90^o$ in the horizontal plane, the net magnetic induction at $P$ is (Horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field = ${B_H}$)

Two bar magnets with magnetic moments $ 2 M $ and $M$ are fastened together at right angles to each other at their centres to form a crossed system, which can rotate freely about a vertical axis through the centre. The crossed system sets in earth’s magnetic field with magnet having magnetic moment $2M $ making and angle  $ \theta $ with the magnetic meridian such that
