Horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field at a place is \(\sqrt 3\) times the vertical component. What is the value of inclination at that place?

Answer»

Given that:

BH\(\sqrt3\) Bv

Also, BH = B cos\(\delta\)

Bv = B sin\(\delta\)

tan\(\delta\) = \(\frac{B_v}{B_H}\) = \(\frac{B_v}{\sqrt{3}\,B_v}\) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt3}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\delta\) = 30º

\(\frac{Bv}{B_H}=tan\theta\) 

Putting values,\(\theta\)=30°
