Question

Define angle dip, What happens to angle of dip as we move towards magnetic pole from magnetic equator.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The dip angle, I (for inclination), is the angle that the total field vector makes with respect to the horizontal plane and is positive for vectors below the plane. It is the complement of the usual polar angle of spherical coordinates.

Answer 2

At the magnetic equator, the dip needle rests horizontally at an angle of dip = 0 degrees while, At the magnetic poles, the magnetic needle rests vertically, at an angle of dip = 90 degrees. At all the other places, the angle of dip is between 0 and 90 degrees
