- if ratio of horizontal component of earths magnetic field to resultant magnetic field at a place is 1/root 2.find dip angle(giv me detailed steps?
-
i think it shud be done this way...
let rsultant magnetic field of Earth =B
and its horizontal component = H
now, we know H =B CosQ , whereQ is the anle of dip.
so H /B = CosQ
=> CosQ = 1/root2
=> Q = 45 degrees.
