The value of angle of dip is zero at the magnetic equator because on it

A

V and H are equal

B

The values of V and H are zero

C

The value of V is zero

D

The value of His zero.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
On magnetic equator,
Angle of dip `delta = 0`, vertical component V= 0
`I sin delta = 0`
implies I sin delta = 0 implies sin delta = 0 implies delta = 0
