The paper presents the results of studies of the dielectric relaxation of nematic 4'-butyloxy-3-fluoro- 4-isothiocyanatotolane, performed for different values of the angle between the probing electric field E and the macroscopic orientation of the sample (the director n) forced by the magnetic field B. Due to a relatively large transverse component of the dipole moment of 4'-butyloxy- 3-fluoro-4-isothiocyanatotolane, the studies allowed one to interpret consistently the dielectric relaxation spectra connected with the molecular rotation around the long axis.
