MCQ
Earth's magnetic field always has a horizontal component except at or Horizontal component of earth's magnetic field remains zero at
- AEquator
- ✓Magnetic poles
- CA latitude of $60^o$
- DAn altitude of $60^o$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Magnetic poles
b
(b)At magnetic poles, the angle of dip is $90^o$. Hence the horizontal component ${B_H} = B\cos \theta = 0.$
(b)At magnetic poles, the angle of dip is $90^o$. Hence the horizontal component ${B_H} = B\cos \theta = 0.$
