Where is the power of the earth's magnet the most

Open in App

Solution

POLES
The power of earth's manetic filed depends on the inclination angle,
Inclination angle is The angle at which the magnetic field lines intersect the surface of the earth. This angle ranges from 0 degrees at the equator to 90 degrees at the poles.
so power strongest at the poles and weakest at the equator.
