The angles of dip at the poles and the equator respectively are
Options
- A30^ , 60^
- B0^ , 90^
- C45^ , 90^
- D90^ , 0^
Correct answer
D. 90^ , 0^
Step-by-step solution
Since angle of dip at a place is defined as the angle , which is the direction of total intensity of earth's magnetic field B makes with a horizontal line in magnetic meridian, At poles B=B_V and B_V=B =1 =90^ At equator B=B_H and B_H=B =1 =0^ .
