Consider the plane S formed by the dipole axis and the axis of earth. Let P be the point on the magnetic equator and in S. Let Q be the point of intersection of the geographical and magnetic equators. Obtain the declination and dip angles at P and Q.

Answers (1)

The angle of declination is zero on the plane formed by the dipole axis and Earth’s axis of rotation. So, the angle of declination is 0 at P.

The angle of dip is zero on the magnetic equator. So, point Q has an angle of dip 0 and the angle of declination 11.3°.
