Topic: Current loop and bar magnet as magnetic dipole, field along axis and equator· Magnetic Effects of Current and Magnetism

At a point A on the earth's surface the angle of dip, δ = +25^°. At a point B on the earth's surface the angle of dip, δ = -25^°. We can interpret that :

1. A and B are both located in the northern hemisphere.

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

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

4. A and B are both located in the southern hemisphere.

Best answer

Answer: 3. A is located in the northern hemisphere and B is located in the southern hemisphere.

The angle of dip is positive (the north pole of the needle dips downward) in the northern hemisphere, and negative (the north end tilts upward) in the southern hemisphere.

So A (\(+25^\circ\)) is in the northern hemisphere and B (\(-25^\circ\)) is in the southern hemisphere.
