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 the magnetic field with the horizontal |
| (b) Angle of dip | (ii) True north correction |
| (c) Magnetic meridian | (iii) Direction of magnetic field at a location |
| (d) Compass needle | (iv) Plane of magnetic field lines at a point |
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 correction made to determine true north, while the angle of dip is the angle the magnetic field makes with the horizontal. The magnetic meridian is the plane of magnetic field lines, and the compass needle indicates the direction of the magnetic field at a location.
