NEET Physics Earth's Magnetism Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
Column-I Column-II (a) Magnetic declination (i) Angle made by magnetic field with the horizontal (b) Angle of dip (ii) Deviation of compass from true north (c) Magnetic meridian (iii) Direction along which a compass needle points (d) Horizontal component (iv) Plane containing the magnetic field lines
Choose the correct matching:
a-ii, b-i, c-iv, d-iii
a-i, b-ii, c-iii, d-iv
a-iii, b-iv, c-i, d-ii
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-i
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Magnetic declination refers to the deviation of compass from true north, while the angle of dip is the angle made by the magnetic field with the horizontal. The magnetic meridian is the plane containing the magnetic field lines, and the horizontal component is the direction along which a compass needle points.
