What is the angle of dip at a place where horizontal and vertical components of earth's field are equal?

A

`30^(@)`

B

`75^(@)`

C

`60^(@)`

D

`45^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`tan(delta)=(Bv)/(B_(H))=(B_(H))/(B_(H))=1(therefore B_(H)=B_(V)("Given"))`
`therefore delta=45^(@)`
