The value of angle of dip is zero at the magnetic equator because on it

Question

The value of angle of dip is zero at the magnetic equator because on it (A) V and H are equal (B) the value of V is zero (C) the value of H is zero (D) the value of V is infinity

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

At the magnetic equator δ =0 ⇒ tan δ =(V/H)=0 ⇒ V=H× 0=0

Q. The value of angle of dip is zero at the magnetic equator because on it

V and H are equal

the value of V is zero

the value of H is zero

the value of V is infinity

At the magnetic equator $δ = 0$ $\Rightarrow$ $tan δ = \frac{V}{H} = 0$ $\Rightarrow$ $V = H \times 0 = 0$

At the magnetic equator δ=0 ⇒ tanδ=HV​=0 ⇒ V=H×0=0

At the magnetic equator $δ = 0$ $\Rightarrow$ $tan δ = \frac{V}{H} = 0$ $\Rightarrow$ $V = H \times 0 = 0$
