At the place where dip angle is \(60^{\circ}\), what is the relation between vertical component \(Z_E\) and horizontal component \(H _{ E }\) of the earth magnetic field?

  1. A \(Z _{ E }= H _{ E }\)
  2. B \(Z _{ E }=\sqrt{3} H _{ E }\)
  3. C \(H _{ E }=\sqrt{3} Z _{ E }\)
  4. D \(H _{ E }=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} Z _{ E }\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(Z _{ E }=\sqrt{3} H _{ E }\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

B
\(\tan I =\frac{ Z _{ E }}{ H _{ E }}\)
\(\begin{array}{ll}\therefore \tan 60^{\circ}=\frac{ Z _{ E }}{ H _{ E }} \\ \therefore \sqrt{3}=\frac{ Z _{ E }}{ H _{ E }}\end{array}\)
\(Z _{ E }=\sqrt{3} H _{ E }\)
