The magnetic field due to the earth has a horizontal component of `26 muT` at a place where the dip is `60^@`. Find the vertical component and the magnitude of the field.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the vertical component of the magnetic field and the magnitude of the magnetic field given the horizontal component and the angle of dip. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between components of the magnetic field The magnetic field of the Earth can be resolved into two components: the horizontal component (Bh) and the vertical component (Bv). The angle of dip (δ) relates these components through the following equations: - Horizontal component: \( Bh = B \cos(δ) \) - Vertical component: \( Bv = B \sin(δ) \) ### Step 2: Given values ...
