At a place, horizontal and vertical components of earth's magnetic field are equal. Angle of dip at the given place is

A

`30^@`

B

`90^@`

C

`45^@`

D

`0^@`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Since `B_H = B_V`, hence `tan delta = (B_V)/(B_H) = 1 implies delta = 45^@`
