Answer:
(i) Given, vertical
component of earth's magnetic field,
Horizontal
component of earth's magnetic field
......
From
, we note that B is minimum if
cos = 0 or which is so, at magnetic equator.
Thus, B is minimum at magnetic equator which is the loci of points.
(ii)
If is the angle of dip, then tan = .
Angle
of dip is zero if = 0. It will be so if . So, the angle of dip is zero on
magnetic equator which is the loci of points.
(iii)
If is 45°, then tan 45° = 2 cot = 2/tan or tan= 2 or=
(2) is the loci of points.
