Answer the following question regarding earth’s magnetism:
In which direction would a compass free to move in the vertical plane point to, if located right on the geomagnetic north or south pole?
उत्तर
If a compass is located on the geomagnetic North Pole or South Pole, then the compass will be free to move in the horizontal plane while the earth’s field is exactly vertical to the magnetic poles. In such a case, the compass can point in any direction.
