The angle of dip at a place where horizontal and vertical components of Earth's magnetic field are equal is
45°

We know that,
Vertical component of earth's magnetic field is
Bv = B sin θ
and horizontal componet of earth's magnetic field is
BH = B cos θ
Given, BH = Bv
So, B cos θ = B sin θ
tan θ = 1
θ = 45°
