If the angles of dip at two places are (30^ ) and (45^ ) respectively, then the ratio of horizontal components of earth's magnetic field at the two places will be
Options
- A( 3 : 2 )
- B(1: 2 )
- C(1: 3 )
- D(1: 2 )
Correct answer
A. ( 3 : 2 )
Step-by-step solution
If (B_e ) be the earth's net magnetic field, then the ratio of horizontal components of earth's magnetic field at the two places is given as ( aligned H₁ H₂ & = B_e ₁ B_e ₂ = ₁ ₂ & = 30^ 45^ [ ₁=30^ , ₂=45^ ] & = 3 / 2 1 / 2 = 3 2 H₁: H₂ & = 3 : 2 aligned )
