At magnetic poles of earth, angle of dip is.....$^o$
$0$
$45$
$90$
$180$
The pole near the geographic north pole is called ...... . The pole near the geographic south pole is called ...... .
Choose the correct option:
Dip angle are $30^o$ and $45^o$ at two different places, then ratio of horizontal component of earth magnetic field at these place will be
If declination at a place is known to be $15^{\circ} \,E$. And a compass needle points as shown, then geographic north is represented by the direction numbered.
Answer the following questions regarding earth’s magnetism:
$(a)$ A vector needs three quantities for its specification. Name the three independent quantities conventionally used to specify the earth’s magnetic field.
$(b)$ The angle of dip at a location in southern India is about $18^o$. Would you expect a greater or smaller dip angle in Britain?
$(c)$ If you made a map of magnetic field lines at Melbourne in Australia, would the lines seem to go into the ground or come out of the ground?
$(d)$ In which direction would a compass free to move in the vertical plane point to, if located right on the geomagnetic north or south pole?
$(e)$ The earth’s field, it is claimed, roughly approximates the field due to a dipole of magnetic moment $8 \times 10^{22}\; J\, T^{-1}$ located at its centre. Check the order of magnitude of this number in some way.
$(f)$ Geologists claim that besides the main magnetic $N-S$ poles, there are several local poles on the earth’s surface oriented in different directions. How is such a thing possible at all?
