The horizontal component and vertical components of Earth's maganetic field at a plase are 0.15 G and 0.26 G respectively. Calculate the angle of dip and resultant magnetic field.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`B_(H)` = 0.15 G and `B_(v)` = 0.26 G
tan 1 = `(0.26)/(0.15) rArr " I " = tan^(-1) (1.732) = 60^(@)`
The resultant magnetic field of the earth is
B = `sqrt(B_(H)^(2) + B_(H)^(2)) = 0.3G`
