Horizontal and vertical components of earth's magnetic field at a place are equal. the angle of dip at that place is

Answer»

The angle of dip is given by δ=tan−1(Bv/Bh

where Bv ​ = vertical component of earth's magnetic field and Bh ​ = horizontal components of earth's magnetic field. 

Here, Bv ​ =Bh ​ 

So, δ=tan−1 (1)=45o
