Question

At a certain place the angle of dip is 30 ° and the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is 0 . 5 G . The earth's total magnetic field (in G ), at that certain place, is, 1 3, 1 2, 3, 1

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Angle of dip, δ = 30 ° Angle of dip or magnetic dip is the angle the net earth's magnetic field and it's horizontal component. B H = B cos δ B = B H cos δ Magnetic field, B = 0 . 5 3 2 = 1 2 3 2 = 1 3 G .
