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.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Angle of DIP : Dip at a place is the angle between the HORIZONTAL and the resultantmagnetic 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^@`
