The relations among the three elements of Earth's magnetic field,namely horizontal component $H$,vertical component $V$,and angle of dip $\delta$ are,($B_{E} =$ total magnetic field):

  • A
    $V=B_{E} \tan \delta, H=B_{E}$
  • B
    $V=B_{E} \sin \delta, H=B_{E} \cos \delta$
  • C
    $V=B_{E} \cos \delta, H=B_{E} \sin \delta$
  • D
    $V=B_{E}, H=B_{E} \tan \delta$
