Magnetic dip & horizontal component of Earth's field | Magnetism & matter | Khan Academy

The angle made by the Earth's magnetic field with the horizontal, in the magnetic meridian, is called the dip. The dip is zero close to the equator and 90 degrees close to the magnetic poles. The dip angle is useful in calculating the horizontal and the vertical components of the Earth's fields.

The fact that they teach the ACTUAL physics, without the motive of making students cram up for jee and boards makes them different ❤️

[jagadishdutta]

You are providing the most amazing content with the actual feel of physics

[ShivanshKaran]

These are the few things our teachers don't explain saying "They don't ask this in IIT"
Thanks a lot ❤

[tapasyapatel]

thoroughly. Thanks

[drrekha]

This video is so underrated ..glad i found it

[xlr_bs]

This was the first topic I struggled with after entering class 12 because I could not visualize it in my mind by simply reading the notes. However, after watching these two videos on Declination and Dip, the concept is ABSOLUTELY CRYSTAL CLEAR and I can form a perfect image of it with my mind.
I just needed an understanding of it with respect to the globe and got it in the best way possible.
LOVE YOU MAN! You are a true gem of a teacher!

[gangajoshi]

Sir no teacher ever cares if we understand the concept, , they just want us to memorize the formula and definition...The thing you are doing is called real teaching, , others should learn from you .

[nishok]

sir please make a vedio on paramagnetism, diamagnetism, ferro magnetism, hysterisis
thank you very much for teaching us

[gokulsuresh]
