### Step-by-Step Solution **Step 1: Define the Angle of Dip** The angle of dip, denoted as \( \theta \), is defined as the angle that the direction of the total strength of the Earth's magnetic field makes with a horizontal line in the magnetic meridian. **Step 2: Understand the Components of the Earth's Magnetic Field** The Earth's magnetic field can be resolved into two components: - The horizontal component (\( H \)), which acts parallel to the Earth's surface. ...
