The angle of dip of at a place where horizontal and vertical components of earth's magnetic field are equal is

  1. A \(45^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(30^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(0^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(60^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(45^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Civen, \(B_{u}=B_{V}\) If 8 be the angle of diz, then \[ \begin{aligned} \tan \delta &=\frac{B_{Y}}{B_{H}}=\frac{B_{Y}}{B_{Y}}=1 \\ &=\tan 45^{\circ} \\ \Rightarrow \quad \delta &=45^{\circ} \end{aligned} \]
