If `H=(1)/(sqrt3)V`, then find angle of dip. (where symbols have their usual meaning)

Options

A. `60^(@)`
B. `30^(@) `
C. `45^(@)`
D. `90^(@)`

Answer

A

Explanation

Magnetic dip or magnetic inclination is given by ` tan theta =(V)/(H)` ......... (i)
where ,V and H are vertical and horizontal components of earth's magnetic field , respectively .
Given , `H=(1)/(sqrt(3))V implies (V)/(H)=sqrt(3)` ............ (ii)
From eqs. (i) and (ii) , we get ` tan theta =sqrt(3) implies theta 60^(@)`
