At a certain place, the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is `sqrt3` times the vertical component. The angle of dip at that place is

A

`30^(@)`

B

`60^(@)`

C

`45^(@)`

D

`90^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`"since" V = H tan theta and H = sqrt3V`
`therefore V = sqrt3V tan theta`
`therefore tan theta =1/sqrt3 = tan 30^(@) implies theta 30^(@)`
