MCQ
Magnetic meridian is:
  • A
    A point.
  • B
    A line along north$-$south.
  • C
    A horizontal plane.
  • A vertical plane.

Answer

Correct option: D.
A vertical plane.
Magnetic meridian at a place is not a line but a vertical plane passing through the axis of a freely suspended magnet.
