The angle of dip at a location in southern India is about `18^@`. Would you expect a greater or lesser dip angle in Britain?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There will be a greater angle of dip in Britain (about `70^@` ) because Britain is closer to the magnetic north pole, where the magnetic dip is `90^@`
