At a place, if the earth’s horizontal and vertical components of magnetic field are equal, the angle of dip will be:
At a place, if the earth’s horizontal and vertical components of magnetic field are equal, the angle of dip will be:
Show Hint
Equal horizontal and vertical components imply tanδ = 1.

- \(30^\circ\)
- \(90^\circ\)
- \(45^\circ\)
- 0^∘
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: tan δ = (BV)/(BH)
Step 2: BV = BH ⟹ tanδ = 1
Step 3: δ = 45^∘
