Assertion: If a compass needle be kept at magnetic north pole of the earth, the compass needle may stay in any direction
Reason: Dip needle will stay vertical at the north pole of earth.
Reason: Dip needle will stay vertical at the north pole of earth.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
Option B is correct because both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not directly explain the assertion. The compass needle's behavior is due to the zero horizontal magnetic field, while the dip needle's vertical orientation is due to the 90-degree dip angle.
