Consider the plane S formed by the dipole axis and the axis of earth. If P be the point of intersection of the geographical and magnetic equators then the declination and dip angle at point P are

A

0°, 11.3°

B

11.3°, 0°

C

11.3°, 11.3°

D

0°, 0°

Answer

11.3°, 0°

Explanation

Solution

: Refer to the adjacent figure. the point P is at the intersection of geographical equator (GE) and magnetic equator (ME) then at this point dip = 0 and declination =11.3= 11.3 ^ { \circ }
