At the place where the angle of dip is $60^{\circ}$,what is the relation between the vertical component $Z_{E}$ and the horizontal component $H_{E}$ of the Earth's magnetic field?

  • A
    $Z_{E} = H_{E}$
  • B
    $Z_{E} = \sqrt{3} H_{E}$
  • C
    $H_{E} = \sqrt{3} Z_{E}$
  • D
    $H_{E} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} Z_{E}$

The Earth's magnetic field at a certain place has a horizontal component of $0.3 \ G$ and the total strength of $0.5 \ G$. The angle of dip is:

$A$ dip circle is adjusted so that its needle moves freely in the magnetic meridian. In this position,the angle of dip is $40^{\circ}$. Now the dip circle is rotated so that the plane in which the needle moves makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the magnetic meridian. In this position,the needle will dip by an angle:
