155. The magnetic compass magnets are acted on by the horizontal component of the Earth's total magnetic force. Where is this magnetic force the GREATEST?
The horizontal component of Earth's magnetic force, which affects a compass, is greatest at the magnetic equator. This is because the magnetic field there is nearly horizontal, minimizing the vertical component and maximizing the force acting on the compass.
