Define the term .angle of dip.. Find the value of dip at a place if the vertical component of Earth.s magnetic field is `sqrt3` times the horizontal component.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Angle of dip : Dip at a place is the angle between the horizontal and the resultant magnetic field (B).
Given :`B_v = sqrt(3)B_H`
We have` tan theta = (B_v)/(B_H) = ( sqrt(3) cancel(B)_H) /( cancel(B)_H)`
`theta = tan^(-1) ( sqrt(3))`
` theta = 60^@`
