NEET Physics Earth's Magnetism Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Angle of dip | (i) Magnetic declination |
| (b) Magnetic meridian | (ii) Earth's magnetic field direction |
| (c) Horizontal component | (iii) Perpendicular to magnetic meridian |
| (d) Magnetic declination | (iv) Angle made with the horizontal |
a-iv, b-ii, c-iii, d-i
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The angle of dip is indeed defined as the angle made with the horizontal (a-iv). The magnetic meridian relates to the direction of the Earth's magnetic field (b-ii), while the horizontal component is perpendicular to the magnetic meridian (c-iii), and magnetic declination is the angle between magnetic north and true north (d-i).
