61) The vertical field intensity anomaly ΔZ due to a vertically polarized vertical dyke is given by

$\triangle Z = 2Mt(\frac{Z_{1}}{Z_1^2+x^{2}}-\frac{Z_{2}}{Z_2^2+x^{2}})$

Where M is the magnitude of intensity of magnetization. All relevant parameters are provided in the figure below. The dyke has 1% magnetite (magnetic susceptibility of magnetite = 0.5 SI units) distributed homogenously. Then the magnitude of Peak vertical field intensity over the dyke is ______ nT.

Solution:.

The vertical field intensity anomaly ΔZ due to a vertically polarized vertical dyke is given by

 

$\triangle Z = 2Mt(\frac{Z_{1}}{Z_1^2+x^{2}}-\frac{Z_{2}}{Z_2^2+x^{2}})$ ---------(1)

 

  Where M is the intensity of the magnetization.

M is defined as Product of the Susceptibility and the field intensity

M=K*H= 0.5*60,000 nT

            = 30,000nT.

 But here the dyke has only 1 % of magnetite = 1% of 30,000 nT

                                                                        = $30,000\times\frac{1}{100}$

                                                                        =300 nT.

  

The magnitude peak will occur at X=0, substitute the Value X=0 in equation(1)

 

$\triangle Z = 2Mt(\frac{Z_{1}}{Z_1^2+x^{2}}-\frac{Z_{2}}{Z_2^2+x^{2}})$

 

$\triangle Z = 2Mt(\frac{Z_{1}}{Z_1^2+0^{2}}-\frac{Z_{2}}{Z_2^2+0^{2}})$

 

$\triangle Z = 2Mt(\frac{1}{Z_1}-\frac{1}{Z_2})$

 

  Substitute the values of M, t,Z1, and Z2 which we get from the given figure in the above equation we get

 

$\triangle Z = 2(300)(10)(\frac{1}{50}-\frac{1}{150})$

 

$\triangle Z = 6000(\frac{150-50}{7500})$

 

$\triangle Z = 6000(\frac{100}{7500})$

 

$\triangle Z = 80nT$
