    The horizontal and vertical components of earths magnetic field at a place are 0.3 G and 0.52 G. The earths magnetic field and the angle of dip are

    A)  \[0.3\text{ }G\text{ }and\text{ }\delta =30{}^\circ \]

    B)  \[0.4\text{ }G\text{ }and\text{ }\delta =40{}^\circ \]

    C)  \[0.5\text{ }G\text{ }and\text{ }\delta =50{}^\circ \]  

    D)  \[0.6\text{ }G\text{ }and\text{ }\delta =60{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     \[B=\sqrt{B_{H}^{2}+B_{V}^{2}}\]and\[\tan \delta =\frac{{{B}_{V}}}{{{B}_{H}}}\] Given, \[{{B}_{H}}=0.39\,G,{{B}_{V}}=0.52\,G\] \[{{B}_{E}}=\sqrt{{{(0.30)}^{2}}+{{(0.52)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{0.36}=0.6\] and\[\delta ={{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{{{B}_{V}}}{{{B}_{H}}}={{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{0.52}{0.3}=60{}^\circ \]
