Explain the magnetic fields of the Earth. and Give the value of magnified of earth.
To describe the magnetic field of the earth at a point on its surface, we need to specify three quantities.
$(i)$ The declination $D$
$(ii)$ The angle of dip or the inclination $I$
$(iii)$ The horizontal component of Earth's field $\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{E}}$
$(iv)$ The vertical component of earth's field $Z_{E}$
All these are known as the elements of the earth's magnetic field.
From figure,
$\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{E}}=\mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{E}} \cos \mathrm{I}...(1)$
$\mathrm{Z}_{\mathrm{E}} =\mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{E}} \sin \mathrm{I}....(2)$
$\therefore \quad \tan \mathrm{I}=\frac{\mathrm{Z}_{\mathrm{E}}}{\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{E}}}...(3)$
$\text { and } \mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{E}}=\sqrt{\mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{E}}^{2}+\mathrm{Z}_{\mathrm{E}}^{2}}...(4)$
Of the order of $10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}$
Name the elements of the earth’s magnetic field.
The values of the apparent angles of dip in two planes at right angles to each other are $45^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ respectively. The true value of angle of dip at the place is ............
Explain angle of dip.
A line passing through places having zero value of magnetic dip is called
Let $V $ and $H $ be the vertical and horizontal components of earth's magnetic field at any point on earth. Near the north pole
