The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to establish the relationship between the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field (B_H), the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field (B_V), and the angle of dip (δ). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Components**: - The Earth's magnetic field can be resolved into two components: the horizontal component (B_H) and the vertical component (B_V). 2. **Defining the Angle of Dip**: - The angle of dip (δ) is defined as the angle made by the Earth's magnetic field with the horizontal plane. 3. **Using the Tangent of the Angle of Dip**: - The relationship between the vertical and horizontal components of the magnetic field and the angle of dip is given by the formula: \[ \tan(\delta) = \frac{B_V}{B_H} \] 4. **Rearranging the Equation**: - From the above equation, we can express the vertical component in terms of the horizontal component and the angle of dip: \[ B_V = B_H \tan(\delta) \] 5. **Conclusion**: - This means that the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field (B_V) is equal to the horizontal component (B_H) multiplied by the tangent of the angle of dip (δ). ### Final Result: Thus, the relationship can be summarized as: \[ B_V = B_H \tan(\delta) \]
