Question

At a place, if the earth’s horizontal and vertical components of magnetic fields are equal, then the angle of dip (in degrees) will be

Open in App

Solution

$Angle of dip$

$B_{H}$ = horizontal component of earth’s field
$B_{V}$ = vertical component earth’s field
$ϕ$ = angle of dip

$tan ϕ = \frac{B_{V}}{B_{H}}$

$tan ϕ = 1 (B_{V} = B_{H})$

$ϕ = 45^{\circ}$
