In the magnetic meridian of a certain place, the horizontal component of earth's magnetic fied is `0.26 G` and the dip angle is `60^@`. Find
a. Vertical component of earth's magnetic field
b. the net magnetic field at this place

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given, H=0.26G and `theta=60^(@)`
(i) `tan theta=(V)/(H)`
`therefore " " V=H tan theta=(0.26)tan60^(@)=0.45G`
(ii) `H=B_(e) cos theta`
`therefore " " B_(e)=(H)/(cos theta)=(0.26)/(cos 60^(@))=0.52G`
