Earth's Magnetic Field
Earth's Magnetic Field: Overview
This topic covers concepts, such as Terrestrial Magnetism, Angle of Dip, Angle of Declination, Horizontal and Vertical Component of Earth's Magnetic Field & Magnetic Field Due to Bar Magnet in Earth's Magnetic Field etc.
Important Questions on Earth's Magnetic Field
Where on the Earth's surface is the magnetic dip is zero?

What is magnetic dip at a place?

The horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is one of the three main components of earth's magnetic field.

What is the direction of horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field?

The magnetic meridian and geographical meridian are the same.

Differentiate between magnetic meridian and geographical meridian.

What does angle of inclination or angle of dip means?

What does magnetic inclination on the Northern Hemisphere means?

Magnetic inclination and declination are elements of earth's magnetic field.

Is magnetic inclination an element of earth's magnetic field? Explain.

Magnetic meridian is

Earth's magnetic field has a horizontal component except at

At certain place, the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is 3.0 G. The angle of dip at the place is . The magnetic field at that place would be

The angle of dip at a certain place on Earth is , the magnitude of Earth’s horizontal component of magnetic field is. The magnetic field at that place on Earth

Earth's magnetic field always has a horizontal component except at

The earth's magnetic field

Draw the magnetic lines of force when the north pole of bar magnet points towards geographic south.

When the north pole of bar magnet points towards geographic south the null points are located on

The neutral points are the points where the magnetic field due to the bar magnet is neutralised by the magnetic field of earth.

When the north pole of bar magnet points towards geographic north the neutral points are located on the east and west of the bar magnet.
