प्रश्न
Can the earth's magnetic field be vertical at a place? What will happen to a freely suspended magnet at such a place? What is the value of dip here?
उत्तर
Yes, Earth's magnetic field is vertical at the poles. A freely suspended magnet becomes vertical at the poles, with its north pole pointing towards Earth's north pole, which is magnetic south.
The value of the angle of the dip here is 90°.
