Question

the ratio of vertical component to the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field at a place is 1.what is the angle of dip?

Answer 1

3:2 is the angle of horijontal

Answer 2

Answer:

Given in the statement that the ratio of the vertical component of magnetic field to the horizontal component of magnetic field equals to 1;

Bv/ Bh = 1

But the basic formula says that; Bv/ Bh = Tanδ

So comparing both the equations, we'll achieve;

Tanδ = 1 , and Tangent function gives the value of 1 at the angle of 45° so the angle of dip is 45°

δ = 45°
