Assume the dipole model of earth's magnetic field B which is given by `B_V`= vertical component of magnetic field `=(mu_0)/(4pi)(2Mcos theta)/(r^3)`, `B_H`=Horizontal component of magnetic field `=(mu_0)/(4pi)(sin theta M)/(r^3)`, `theta=90^@`-latitude as measured from magnetic equator.
Find loci of points for which (i) `|vecB|` is minimum, (ii) dip angle is zero, and (iii) dip angle is `+-45^@`.
