Question

Name and define the magnetic elements of earth's magnetic field at a place. Derive an expression
for the angle of dip in terms of the horizontal component and the resultant magnetic field of the earth at a given place.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Earths magnetic field is about 1 gauss.

The elements in the earths magnetic field are-

1. Magnetic Declination (q)

2. Magnetic Inclination (p)

3. Horizontal Component (BH)

The angle of dip is the angle between the direction of the earth's magnetic field and the plane of the horizon

Horizontal component of earth's magnetic field=

BH =Bcosθ

Vertical component of earth's magnetic field=

B V =Bsinθ

Now, Bcosθ=Bsinθ

⟹θ=45
