In the magnetic meridian of a certain place, the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is \(86.6 \mathrm{G}\) (Gauss) and the magnetic field of earth is \(100 \mathrm{G}\) (Gauss). Then the dip angle is

  1. A \(45^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(60^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(30^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(75^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(30^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\phi\) be angle of dip Then, \(\cos \phi=\frac{\mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{H}}}{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{86.6}{100}=0.866=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) So, \(\phi=30^{\circ}\)
