Consider the plane S formed by the dipole axis and the axis of earth. Let P be point on the magnetic equator and in S. Let Q be the point
of intersection of the geographical and magnetic equators. Obtain the declination and dip angles at P and Q.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Point P: Point P is in plane S formed by dipole axis and the axis of the earth hence declination is ZERO.

Point Q: Q lies in the magnetic equator; angle of dip is ZERO but the angle of declination is 11.3 degrees.
