At a point A on the earth's surface of angle of dip, `delta=+25^(@)`. At a point B on the earth's surface the angle of dip, `delta=-25^(@)`. We can interpret that.

A

A and B are both located in the southern hemisphere.

B

A and B are both located in the northern hemisphere.

C

A is located in the southern hemisphere and B is located in the northern hemisphere.

D

A is located in the northern hemisphere and B is located in the southern hemisphere.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
We should know that angle of dip is positive in southern hemisphere because north-pole of earth.s magnetic field lies in southern hemisphere. Hence A lies in southern hemisphere whereas point B must lie in northern hemisphere
