Question:

A. At the magnetic pole of earth; angle of dip is 90° and BH = 0.

B. At the magnetic pole of earth; angle of dip is zero and Bv = 0.

C. At the magnetic equator of the earth; angle of dip is 90° and BH = 0.

D. At the magnetic equator of the earth; angle of dip is zero and Bv = 0.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

A and B only

B and D only

C and D only

A and D only

Correct Answer:

A and D only

Explanation:

At magnetic equator of Earth, the magnetic field lines become parallel to surface of earth.

∴ Angle of dip = 0°

and BH = Bnet, BV = 0

At magnetic, poles of earth, the magnetic field lines become perpendicular to surface of earth

∴ Angle of dip = 90°

and BH = 0, BV = Bnet
