At Place On Earth The Vertical Component Of Earths Magnetic Physics QuestionAt Place On Earth The Vertical Component Of Earths Magnetic Physics Question

At place on earth, the vertical component of earth’s magnetic field is √3 times its horizontal component. The angle of dip at this place is …….

Options

(a) 60⁰
(b) 30⁰
(c) 45⁰
(d) 0⁰

Correct Answer:

60⁰

Explanation:

As vertical component of Earth’s magnetic field is Bᵥ = √3 Bʜ

Angle of dip at any place is a given by, tan δ = Bᵥ / Bʜ = Bᵥ = √3 Bʜ / Bʜ = √3

Then, δ = tan⁻¹ (√3) = 60⁰
