1.

Define angle of dip. Deduce the relation connecting angle of dip and horizontal component of earth's magnetic field at a place.

Answer»

Solution :In fig. CDAB is the MAGNETIC MERIDIAN . Magnetic field to earth `vecB_E` at the place is inclined at an ANGLE, EQUAL to angle of dip , `delta` from horizontal direction ALONG magnetic meridian . Hence , horizontal component `vecB_H` of earth.s magnetic field will be given by
`B_H = B_E . cos delta ` or `(B_H)/(B_E)= cos delta`
