What are 3 factors which affect the magnitude of magnetic force on current-carrying conductors?
Electric current, magnetic field intensity, length of the conductor, angle between the electric current and magnetic field
What is the angle of the sun above you on a summer solstice?
the earths shape is sphere.
What is the approximate angle of the tilt if the earths?
23.5 degrees
What angle is Earth's axis tilted with respect to Earths orbit?
The season
What is inclined at an angle of 11.5 degrees to earth's rotational axis?
magnetic meridian
What is the Angle between magnetic north and true north?
The angle between the geographic north and the geomagnetic north is 11.5 degrees..
What is magnetic variation?
Since the Earth's magnetic poles are not located at the geographic poles, a magnetic compass doesn't point to 'true' (geographic) north. The DIFFERENCE angle between magnetic north and true north is the magnetic variation or declination where you are. It changes for different locations.
What is the angle between the geographic North Pole and the direction in which a compass needle points is called magnetic?
Magnetic declination
What angel are earths magnetic poles?
The angle varies between 22.1 & 24.5
The angle of difference between the geographic and magnetic poles is called the declination How does the declination change as you move north from where you live?
The angle between the geographic and magnetic poles extends more towards the east, as you move to the north. The magnetic pole is actually near Greenland.
What is of the Angle of magnetic north?
That all depends on WHERE on the earth you are located. The angle between the direction to the north geographic pole and the north magnetic pole is different at different places. Go to "Google.com" and search for "magnetic declination". You'll get plenty to read, and ways to determine what the angle is at your location.
How does the declination change as you move north from where you live?
The angle between the geographic and magnetic poles extends more towards the east, as you move to the north. The magnetic pole is actually near Greenland.
What is the angle between geographic north and the north to which a compass needle points?
The sum of variation and deviation. The angle of magnetic declination, or magnetic variation, is the angle between the local magnetic field lines with which a magnetic compass needle lines up and the direction of true north, the north axis point of Earth. In the U.S., that angle varies between 0 degrees and about 20 degrees and also varies over time.The difference between "true" north and "magnetic" north is called "magnetic variation", which is often abbreviated as "mag var".The north magnetic pole is in northern Canada, but is continually (although slowly) moving. Topographical or navigational maps are generally overprinted with "mag var" lines and the amount of correction.

What is that angle made by the earths magnetic field with a horizontal plane at a point on the earth?
It's called the Dip.
How do you find magnetic direction?
The angle between the direction your compass points and the direction you're facing is the 'magnetic azimuth'. The angle between the direction to the north pole and the direction you're facing is the 'true azimuth'. They are virtually never the same angle. The difference between them is the 'magnetic declination' or the 'compass declination' in the place where you are at in which.
