(N/A) The magnetic field lines of the Earth resemble that of a magnetic dipole located at the centre of the Earth.
The axis of the dipole does not coincide with the axis of rotation of the Earth but is presently tilted by $11.3^{\circ}$.
The magnetic poles are located where the magnetic field lines due to the dipole enter or leave the Earth.
The location of the north magnetic pole is at a latitude of $79.74^{\circ} N$ and a longitude of $71.8^{\circ} W$,a place somewhere in north Canada.
The magnetic south pole is at $79.74^{\circ} S, 108.22^{\circ} E$ in the Antarctica.

If the dip circle is set at $45^{\circ}$ to the magnetic meridian,then the apparent dip is $30^{\circ}$. The true dip of the place is:

What is the angle between the axis of rotation and the magnetic axis of the Earth (in $°$)?

The angle of dip at a place is $60^{\circ}$. At this place,the total intensity of the Earth's magnetic field is $0.64 \text{ units}$. The horizontal intensity of the Earth's magnetic field at this place is . . . . . . $\text{units}$.

The correct relation is:
$B_H$ = Horizontal component of earth's magnetic field; $B_V$ = Vertical component of earth's magnetic field and $B$ = Total intensity of earth's magnetic field.

If a magnet is suspended at an angle $30^o$ to the magnetic meridian,it makes an angle of $45^o$ with the horizontal. The real dip is
