Solution

The correct statement about the dip of a magnet is: "At the magnetic equator, the dip is zero and the directive force greatest."

Here's why:

  1. The dip or inclination of a magnet refers to the angle that the magnetic field of the Earth makes with the horizontal plane.

  2. At the magnetic equator, the Earth's magnetic field is parallel to the surface of the Earth, meaning it's horizontal. Therefore, the angle it makes with the horizontal plane (the dip) is zero.

  3. The directive force of a magnet refers to its tendency to align with the Earth's magnetic field. This force is greatest at the
