Our earth behaves as it has a powerful magnet within it. The value of magnetic field on the surface of  earth is a few tenth of gauss (1G = `10^(-4)`  T) There are three elements of Earth’s magnetism   (i) Angle of declination  (ii) Angle of dip  (iii) Horizontal component of Earth’s magnetic field.   In the magnetic meridian of a certain place, the horizontal component of Earth’s magnetic field is 0.6 G and the  dip angle is `53^@`. The value of vertical component of earth's magnetic field at this place is
