explain angle of Dip and angle of declination.
Hello aspirant,
Angle of dip is also called as magnetic dip and is defined as the angle that is made by the earth's magnetic field lines with the horizontal. The angle of dip is equal to 45 degree when the horizontal component and the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field are equal.
Angle of declination is the angle in the vertical plane aligned with magnetic north between the magnetic field and the horizontal.
Hope, this answer helps you.
Hello Sanjana,
As I can see you want to know about angle of dip and angle of declination. I will clear your concept that what is angle of dip and angle of declination?
Angle of Dip :- Angle of dip is the angle in the vertical plane aligned with magnetic north (the magnetic meridian) between the local magnetic field and the horizontal.
Angle of Declination :- Angle of declination is the angle between the magnetic and geographic meridians, or the angle in the horizontal plane between magnetic north and true north.
I hope this information will be useful for you.
