At a place, if the earth's horizontal and vertical components of magnetic fields are equal, then the angle of dip will be.......$^o$
$30$
$75$
$45$
$60$
The earth's magnetic field lines resemble that of a dipole at the centre of the earth. If the magnetic moment of this dipole is close to $8 \times 10^{22}\, Am^2$, the value of earth 's magnetic field near the equator is close to....$Gauss$ (radius of the earth $= 6.4 \times 10^6\, m$)
At a certain location in Africa, a compass points $12^{\circ}$ west of the geographic north. The north tip of the magnetic needle of a dip circle placed in the plane of magnetic meridian points $60^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. The horizontal component of the earth's field is measured to be $0.16 \;G$. Specify the direction and magnitude of the earth's field at the location.
Choose the correct option:
The angle of dip at a certain place on earth is $60^o$ and the magnitude of earth's horizontal component of magnetic field is $0.26\, G$. The magnetic field at the place on earth is.....$G$
The magnetic field of earth is due to
