What are horizontal and vertical components of earth's total magnetic field ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The axis of a freely suspended magnet in a horizontal plane is called magnetic meridian or horizontal components of earth's field.
The vertical component of earth's total magnetic field with respect to the axis of a freely suspended magnet is called vertical components of earth's field .
