Question

Given below are two statements which of the statement is/are true?

Statement (A):- When the south pole of a magnet points towards the geographical north pole, the null points are along the equatorial line.

Statement (B):- At the null point, the earth's magnetic field is zero.

• A. A is true B is false
• B. Both A and B are false
• C. A is false B is true
• D. Both A and B are true

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Both A and B are false

1. When the south pole of magnetic points toward the geographic north pole, the null points are obtained at two points on the axis line of the magnet.
2. At the null point, the resultant magnetic field is zero.

Hence option B is correct.
