WBJEE · Physics · Magnetic Properties of Matter
At a certain place, the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is \(\sqrt{3}\) times the vertical component. The angle of dip at that place is
- A \(30^{\circ}\)
- B \(60^{\circ}\)
- C \(45^{\circ}\)
- D \(90^{\circ}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(30^{\circ}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\tan \theta=\frac{V}{H}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow \theta=30^{\circ}\)
