Angle of Dip Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Angle of Dip = arccos(Horizontal Component of Earth's Magnetic Field/Vertical Component of Earth's Magnetic Field)
δ = arccos(B_H/B_V)
This formula uses 2 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)
arccos - Arccosine function, is the inverse function of the cosine function.It is the function that takes a ratio as an input and returns the angle whose cosine is equal to that ratio., arccos(Number)

Variables Used

Angle of Dip - (Measured in Radian) - The Angle of Dip is the angle between the horizontal plane and the Earth's magnetic field lines. It varies depending on the location on the Earth's surface.
Horizontal Component of Earth's Magnetic Field - (Measured in Tesla) - Horizontal Component of Earth's Magnetic Field is the part of the Earth's magnetic field that lies parallel to the Earth's surface.
Vertical Component of Earth's Magnetic Field - (Measured in Tesla) - The vertical Component of Earth's Magnetic Field is the part of the magnetic field that points perpendicular to the Earth's surface. It influences the magnetic dip and affects compass readings.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Horizontal Component of Earth's Magnetic Field: 2E-05 Weber per Square Meter --> 2E-05 Tesla (Check conversion here)
Vertical Component of Earth's Magnetic Field: 4E-05 Weber per Square Meter --> 4E-05 Tesla (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

δ = arccos(B_H/B_V) --> arccos(2E-05/4E-05)

Evaluating ... ...

δ = 1.0471975511966

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.0471975511966 Radian -->60.0000000000113 Degree (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

60.0000000000113 ≈ 60 Degree <-- Angle of Dip

What is the angle of dip?

The angle of dip, also known as the magnetic inclination, is the angle between the Earth's magnetic field and the horizontal plane. It indicates how much the Earth's magnetic field is tilted relative to the Earth's surface. At the magnetic poles, this angle is 90 degrees, meaning the field lines are vertical, while at the equator, it is 0 degrees, indicating the field lines are horizontal.

How to Calculate Angle of Dip?

Angle of Dip calculator uses Angle of Dip = arccos(Horizontal Component of Earth's Magnetic Field/Vertical Component of Earth's Magnetic Field) to calculate the Angle of Dip, Angle of Dip formula is defined as the angle between the Earth's magnetic field and the horizontal plane, measured at a specific location, which is an important concept in geophysics and magnetism, used to determine the orientation of the magnetic field lines and their variation with depth and location. Angle of Dip is denoted by δ symbol.

How to calculate Angle of Dip using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Angle of Dip, enter Horizontal Component of Earth's Magnetic Field (B_H) & Vertical Component of Earth's Magnetic Field (B_V) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Angle of Dip calculation can be explained with given input values -> 3437.747 = arccos(2E-05/4E-05).

FAQ

What is Angle of Dip?

Angle of Dip formula is defined as the angle between the Earth's magnetic field and the horizontal plane, measured at a specific location, which is an important concept in geophysics and magnetism, used to determine the orientation of the magnetic field lines and their variation with depth and location and is represented as δ = arccos(B_H/B_V) or Angle of Dip = arccos(Horizontal Component of Earth's Magnetic Field/Vertical Component of Earth's Magnetic Field). Horizontal Component of Earth's Magnetic Field is the part of the Earth's magnetic field that lies parallel to the Earth's surface & The vertical Component of Earth's Magnetic Field is the part of the magnetic field that points perpendicular to the Earth's surface. It influences the magnetic dip and affects compass readings.

How to calculate Angle of Dip?
