At the magnetic poles of the Earth, the angle of dip (inclination) is exactly:
A. 90 degrees
B. 45 degrees
C. 0 degrees
D. 180 degrees

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The angle of dip is the angle the Earth's total magnetic field vector makes with the horizontal surface. At the magnetic equator, the magnetic field lines are perfectly parallel to the ground (0 degrees). At the magnetic poles, the field lines plunge strictly vertically downward (or upward) into the ground, making a 90-degree angle with the horizontal.

The force required to keep a body moving in uniform velocity on a frictionless surface is
A. Zero
B. Product of mass and velocity
C. Equal to its weight
D. Equal to applied force

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
On a frictionless surface, no net external force is required to maintain uniform velocity (Newton's first law). Only to change velocity force is needed. Thus, force required is zero. If friction present, force would be needed to balance friction.
