At the place, on the surface of the earth, ratio of horizontal and vertical component of the magnetic field is `sqrt3` then angle of dip at this place is…………rad

A

`pi/3`

B

`pi/6`

C

`pi/4`

D

zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`(B_H)/( B_V) sqrt(3)` (Given)
`(B cos phi)/( B sin phi) = sqrt(3) (because B_(H) = B cos phi, B_(V) B sin phi)`
`therefore tan phi = (1)/( sqrt(3)) therefore phi= (pi)/(6)`
