At a certain place, the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is 1 3 times the vertical component. The angle of dip at that place is
Options
- A30^
- B45^
- C60^
- D90^
Correct answer
C. 60^
Step-by-step solution
Given, B_H / B_V=1 / 3 where, B_H and B_V are respectively, the horizontal and vertical components of earth's magnetic field aligned & =B_V / B_H= 3 B_H B_H = 3 & = ⁻¹ 3 =60^ aligned Angle of dip, =60^
