The earth’s magnetic field at a certain place has a horizontal component

0.3\;gauss

and the total strength

0.5\;gauss

. The angle of dip is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

{\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{4}{3}

Option C (

{\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{4}{3}

) is correct because the angle of dip is given by

\tan{\delta} = \frac{B_V}{B_H}

, where

B_V

is the vertical component and

B_H

is the horizontal component.
