Explanation / Answer

Answer:

[Explanation: The intersection of magnetic field lines and Earth surface will give a particular inclination angle at each location on the Earth. The magnetic field lines are parallel with the Earth's surface near the Equator and almost perpendicular with the Earth's surface near both the poles (north and south poles). So, inclination value changes with the lattitude. Inclination angle near the Equator= 0o and near the poles, the inclination value is= 90o.

In case of magnets, as opposites attract, so the north end of a compass magnet is attracted to the south magnetic pole, which lies near to the geographic north pole. So, the magnetic north pole is located near the geographic south pole and the magnetic south pole present near the geographic north pole. At present day, the magnetic poles are separated from geographic poles by about 10o. ]
