Answer:
Explanation:
Magnetic declination is the angle on the horizontal plane between magnetic north (the direction the north end of a compass needle points, corresponding to the direction of the Earth's magnetic field lines) and true north (the direction along a meridian towards the geographic North Pole).
Since the dip angle at the place is 60
∘
, the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field B
H
and the earth's magnetic field B are related as B
