Dip: Angle Of

Electronic sensors used in modern navigation systems and smartphones.

BV=Bsin(θ)cap B sub cap V equals cap B sine open paren theta close paren To find the angle of dip directly from the components: angle of dip

BH=Bcos(θ)cap B sub cap H equals cap B cosine open paren theta close paren Electronic sensors used in modern navigation systems and

tan(θ)=BVBHtangent open paren theta close paren equals the fraction with numerator cap B sub cap V and denominator cap B sub cap H end-fraction Variation Across Earth angle of dip

💡 The angle of dip is positive in the Northern Hemisphere (pointing down) and negative in the Southern Hemisphere (pointing up).

📍 The magnetic field is purely horizontal. The angle of dip is 0∘0 raised to the composed with power
