The magnetic field of Earth can be modelled by that of a point dipole placed at the centre of the Earth. The dipole axis makes an angle of \(11.3^{\circ}\) with the axis of Earth. At Mumbai, declination is nearly zero. Then,
1. the declination varies between \(11.3^{\circ} \mathrm{W}\) to \(11.3^{\circ} \mathrm{E}\).
2. the least declination is \(0^{\circ}\).
3. the plane defined by dipole axis and Earth axis passes through Greenwich.
4. declination averaged over Earth must be always negative.

A paramagnetic sample shows a net magnetisation of \(8 \mathrm{Am}^{-1}\) when placed in an external magnetic field of \(0.6 \mathrm{~T}\) at a temperature of \(4 \mathrm{~K}\). When the same sample is placed in an external magnetic field of \(0.2 \mathrm{~T}\) at a temperature of \(16 \mathrm{~K}\), the magnetisation will be
1. \(\frac{32}{3} \mathrm{Am}^{-1}\)
2. \(\frac{2}{3} \mathrm{Am}^{-1}\)
3. \(6 \mathrm{Am}^{-1}\)
4. \(2.4 \mathrm{Am}^{-1}.\)
