explain different component of Earth's magnetic field and establish relation between them?
Answers
There are 3 major component of Earth's Magnetic field are as follows:
- Magnetic Declination .
- Horizontal Component of Earth’s Magnetic Field.
- The angle of Dip or Magnetic Inclination.
Explanation:
There are three Components of Earth’s Magnetic Field , These components are responsible for the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field.
1) Magnetic Declination .
2) Horizontal Component of Earth’s Magnetic Field.
3) The angle of Dip or Magnetic Inclination.
Magnetic Declination :- Whenever a magnetic needle is hanged freely in the air, it always points in the north-south direction this is known as Magnetic Meridian.
Horizontal Component of Earth’s Magnetic Field:- and The angle of Dip or Magnetic Inclination:- The angle of dip term as the north pole of the needle makes with the horizontal axis is term as the Angle of Dip or Magnetic Inclination.
Horizontal Component(H)
Vertical Component(v)
