At two different places, the angles of dip are respectively \(30^{\circ}\) and \(45^{\circ} .\) At these two places the ratio of horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is

  1. A \(\sqrt{3}: \sqrt{2}\)
  2. B \(1: \sqrt{2}\)
  3. C 1: 2
  4. D \(1: \sqrt{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\sqrt{3}: \sqrt{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is given by, \(H=R \cos \delta\) where, \(\delta\) is the angle of dip so \(H_{1}=R \cos 30^{\circ}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{2}=\mathrm{Rcos} 45^{\circ}\)…
