【Earth Magnetism】
Why the angle of dip is 0° at the equator whereas at north pole it is 180°? if compass is in the direction north-south then how 0° and 180° is possible?
I know physics is not everyone's cup of tea, so you can just be aside if not sure about your answer, rather than spamming.

Answer:
Angle of dip at earth magnetic dipole
Solution: It is a fact that the angle of dip at magnetic pole of earth of earth is 900
But remember that, at south magnetic pole it is -900 & at north magnetic pole it is +900
Hence the correct answer is C

Answer:
Since angle of dip at a place is defined as the angle δ, which is the direction of total intensity of earth's magnetic field R makes with a horizontal line in magnetic meridian,
At poles B=B
V
and B
V
=Bsinδ
∴sinδ=1⇒δ=90
o
At equator B=B
H
and B
H
=Bcosδ
∴cosδ=1⇒δ=0
o
