Question

If earth horizontal component of magnetic field is 3.464 x 10-5 Wb/m2 and angle of dip is 300 , What is earth’s vertical component of magnetic field(Bv)?​

Answer 1

Answer:

45o

Explanation:

Let horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is  B

H

​

 and vertical component is B

V

​

.

Angle of dip is θ then,

tanθ=

B

H

​

B

V

​

​

But B

V

​

=B

H

​

 is given,

∴tanθ=

B

V

​

B

V

​

​

=1

∴θ=45

o

Hence angle of dip at that place is 45
