Question

The horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field at a place is $B$ and angle of dip is $60^{\circ}$ . What is the value of horizontal component of earth magnetic field at equator?

Open in App

Solution

We have, Horizontal earth magnetic field
$B_{H} = B$
Angle of dip= $60 °$
Therefore vertical magnetic field $= ? = B_{V}$
Using $tan θ = \frac{B_{V}}{B_{H}}$
$⟹ B_{V} = B_{H} tan 60 °$
