Question

The relations amongst the three elements earth's magnetic field, namely horizontal component H, vertical component V and dip d are, (B$_E$ = total magnetic field)

• A. $\vee =B_{E} \,tan\, \delta, H = B_{E}$
• B. $\vee =B_{E} \,sin\, \delta, H = B_{E} cos \quad\delta$
• C. $\vee =B_{E} \,cos\, \delta, H = B_{E} sin \quad\delta$
• D. $\vee =B_{E}, H = B_{E} tan \quad\delta$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$\vee =B_{E} \,sin\, \delta, H = B_{E} cos \quad\delta$

Answer 2

$V = B_E \,sin \,\delta$, $H = B_E \,cos \,\delta$

So, the correct answer is (B): $\vee =B_{E} \,sin\, \delta, H = B_{E} cos\, \delta$.
