Chapter 8, Problem 1C
Earth’s magnetic field lines are not parallel to its surface except in certain places: they actually 44dip” downward at some angle to the ground. (An ordinary compass does not show this.)
(a) At what places on Earth would the magnetic dip” be the greatest?
(b) Where on Earth would the dip be zero?
