Step 1
The tangent law of magnetism is a way of measuring the strengths of two perpendicular magnetic fields.
When a magnet is exposed to a magnetic field B that is perpendicular to the Earth’s horizontal magnetic field ( B h ), the magnetic field will rest at an angle theta.
Step 2
The relation between the magnetic fields can be given as :
B = B h tan θ
or
tan θ = B B h
The law is known as the tangent law of magnetism because tangent of an angle is the relevant factor here.
