The horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field at a place is √3 times the vertical component. The angle of dip at that place is
(i) π/6
(ii) π/3
(iii) π/4
(iv) 0
(i) π/6
Explanation:
According the Target Law, `"B"_{"V"}`=`"B"_{"H"}"tan"\delta`
`"B"_{"H"}`= `\sqrt{3}``"B"_{"v"}`
`"tan"\delta`= `\frac{"B"_{"v"}}{\sqrt{3}"B"_{"v"}}`
= `\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}`
`\delta`=`30^{0}` or `\frac{\pi}{6}`
