Elements of Earth's Magnetic Field:
- The magnitude and direction of the magnetic field of the earth at a place are completely given by certain quantities known as magnetic elements.
Magnetic Declination (θ)or magnetic variation:
- It is the angle between geographic and magnetic meridian planes.
- Declination at a place is expressed at θ° E or θ° W depending upon whether the north pole of the compass needle lies to the east or the west of the geographical axis.
The angle of inclination or Dip (Φ):
- It is the angle between the direction of the intensity of the total magnetic field of earth and a horizontal line in the magnetic meridian.
Explanation:
- The angle of inclination or Dip is the angle between the direction of the intensity of the total magnetic field of earth and a horizontal line in the magnetic meridian.
- From above it is clear that the angle between geographic and magnetic meridian planes is known as the angle of declination or magnetic variation.
Additional Information
- The magnetic field of the Earth along the vertical is known as the vertical component of Be.
- The magnetic field of the Earth along the horizontal is known as the horizontal component of Be.
