The magnetic dip on the magnetic north pole is

The magnetic dip on the magnetic north pole is Correct Answer 90°

CONCEPT:

  • Elements of Earth's Magnetic Field: The magnitude and direction of the magnetic field of the earth at a place are completely given by certain quantities known as magnetic elements.
  • Magnetic Declination (θ): It is the angle between geographic and magnetic meridian planes.
    • Declination at a place is expressed at θ° E or θ° W depending upon whether the north pole of the compass needle lies to the east or to the west of the geographical axis.
  • The angle of inclination or Dip (Φ): It is the angle between the direction of the intensity of the total magnetic field of earth and a horizontal line in the magnetic meridian. 

  • Therefore option 3 is correct.
