This dataset consolidates Page 1 and Page 2 OCR data for GEO-PHYSICS Paper II of the Combined Geo-Scientist (Main) Examination, 2021. Page 1 provides the exam header, maximum marks (200), time (three hours), and the two-section pattern: ten questions with a requirement to attempt six questions total, with questions 1 and 6 compulsory. It also lists key physical constants (electron rest mass, Bohr magneton, Nuclear magneton, Boltzmann constant, etc.) and the instruction that answers must be in English. Page 2 contains Section A questions: (Q1) magnetism, gravity and Poisson relations, resistivity configurations (Wenner vs Schlumberger), multiples, bed anisotropy, Hydrogen Index, and gas-log related queries; (Q2) a frequency-domain prospecting problem involving mutual inductance between transmitter and receiver. The OCR repair results organize these questions into clearly separated items for web publication and SEO enhancement, with image metadata and extended SEO fields.

Questions (page 2)

Q1. Q1. Draw a neat sketch explaining the elements of the Earth's magnetic field. Write down the Poisson's relation between gravity potential and magnetic potential.
(a) The apparent resistivity measured with Wenner and Schlumberger electrodes configurations is the same, when equal amount of current is passed through the current electrodes and equal potential difference is recorded between pair of potential electrodes. If the Wenner configuration electrodes spacing is 10 m and in Schlumberger configuration potential electrodes spacing is 20 m, estimate the current electrodes spacing for the Schlumberger configuration.
Define multiples. Distinguish between short-path and long-path
(c) multiples with the help of neat sketch for the case of horizontal beds.
(d) Find coefficient of anisotropy of a geoelectrical section consisting of an alternating series of beds with a total thickness of 10 m, the individual bed being homogeneous and isotropic, one meter thick and with resistivities alternating between 10 Ωm and 100 Ωm.
Define the term 'Hydrogen Index' used in neutron porosity logging. How (e) can the combination of neutron and density porosity logs be used as gas log?

Q2. Q2. prospecting In frequency domain (a) survey, a Transmitter (T) and a Receiver (R) loops are placed at a test site in free space. If harmonically time varying current of 1000 Hz and magnitude, I0 of 2 A in the transmitter loop produces induced emf in receiver loop of magnitude 1 volt, calculate mutual inductance between transmitter and receiver loop along with the phase difference between transmitter current and induced emf in the receiver loop for harmonic transmitter current represented by IT = I0 cos ω t.
