|
|
defining:
|
|
|
|
Ø |
H:
the strength of the magnetic
|
|
|
field
in the plane horizontal to
|
|
|
Earth’s
surface (horizontal plane)
|
|
|
Ø |
D:
the angle between
|
|
|
geographical
north (X) and the
|
|
|
direction
of the magnetic field in
|
|
|
the
horizontal plane
|
|
|
|
Ø |

the strength of the magnetic
|
|
|
field
pointing down
|
|
|
|
