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 $10^{-5} \mathrm{~T}$
Let $V $ and $H $ be the vertical and horizontal components of earth's magnetic field at any point on earth. Near the north pole
The angle of dip is the angle
A fighter plane of length $20\, m$, wing span (distance from tip of one wing to the tip of the other wing) of $15\,m$ and height $5\,m$ is lying towards east over Delhi. Its speed is $240\, ms^{-1}$ . The earth's magnetic field over Delhi is $5 \times 10^{-5}\,T$ with the declination angle $ \sim {0^o}$ and dip of $\theta$ such that $\sin \,\theta = \frac{2}{3}$. If the voltage developed is $V_B$ between the lower and upper side of the plane and $V_W$ between the tips of the wings then $V_B$ and $V_W$ are close to
If the dip circle is set at $45^o$ to the magnetic meridian, then the apparent dip is $30^o$. The true dip. of the place is
At a place, the horizontal and vertical intensities of earth's magnetic field is $0.30$ Gauss and $0.173$ Gauss respectively. The angle of dip at this place is.....$^o$
