Consider the plane $\mathrm{S}$ formed by the dipole axis and the axis of earth. Let $\mathrm{P}$ be point on the magnetic equator and in $\mathrm{S}$. Let $\mathrm{Q}$ be the point of intersection of the geographical and magnetic equators. Obtain the declination and dip angles at $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$

Let point $\mathrm{P}$ is in the plane $\mathrm{S}$, needle is in north, so the declination is zero.

Since point $P$ lies in plane $S$ formed by the dipole axis and the axis of the Earth, declination is zero. Since point Q lies on the magnetic equator angle of dip is zero.

It is $11.3^{\circ}$ tilted with its axis of the earth so declination between $P$ and $Q$ is $11.3^{\circ}$.
