alleryDeclination, dip and the horizontal component are called the:
AElements of the field
BPoles of a bar magnet
CDomains of a ferromagnet
DLoops of a solenoid
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Elements of the field
1. Three quantities are needed to fix the earth's field at a place.
2. They are the declination, the angle of dip and one component.
3. Together they are the elements of the earth's magnetic field.
