प्रश्न
Let the magnetic field on earth be modelled by that of a point magnetic dipole at the centre of earth. The angle of dip at a point on the geographical equator ______.
- is always zero.
- can be zero at specific points.
- can be positive or negative.
- is bounded.
विकल्प
a, b and c
a, c and d
b, c and d
c and d
उत्तर
b, c and d
Explanation:
Angle of inclination or dip is the angle between the direction of intensity of total magnetic field of the earth and a horizontal line in the magnetic meridian.
If the total magnetic field of the earth is modelled by a point magnetic dipole at the centre, then it is in the same plane of geographical equator, thus the angle of dip at a point on the geographical equator is bounded in a range from positive to negative value.

The earth’s magnetic field varies from point to point in space. Does it also change with time? If so, on what time scale does it change appreciably?
The earth may have even reversed the direction of its field several times during its history of 4 to 5 billion years. How can geologists know about the earth’s field in such distant past?
A long straight horizontal cable carries a current of 2.5 A in the direction 10° south of west to 10° north of east. The magnetic meridian of the place happens to be 10° west of the geographic meridian. The earth’s magnetic field at the location is 0.33 G, and the angle of dip is zero. Locate the line of neutral points (ignore the thickness of the cable)? (At neutral points, magnetic field due to a current-carrying cable is equal and opposite to the horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field.)
