Question

Consider the plane S formed by the dipole axis and the axis of earth. If P be the point of intersection of the geographical and magnetic equators then the declination and dip angle at point P are then

• A. $0^0,{11.3}^0$
• B. ${11.3}^0,0^0$
• C. ${11.3}^0,{11.3}^0$
• D. $0^0,0^0$

Answer 1

The correct option is B ${11.3}^0,0^0$

Refer to the adjacent figure. The point P is at the intersection of geographical equator (GE) and magnetic equator (ME) then at this point dip = 0 and declination = ${11.3}^0$
