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
- DAn altitude of 60
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Magnetic poles
At magnetic poles, the angle of dip is 90 . Hence the horizontal component $B_H=B \cos \theta=0$.
