JEE Main & Advanced Physics Magnetism Question Bank Earth's Magnetism

  • question_answer
    The angle of dip at a place is 40.6o and the intensity of the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field \[V=6\times {{10}^{-5}}\]Tesla. The total intensity of the earth's magnetic field (I) at this place is                         [MP PMT 1993]

    A)            \[7\times {{10}^{-5}}tesla\]   

    B)            \[6\times {{10}^{-5}}tesla\]

    C)            \[5\times {{10}^{-5}}tesla\]   

    D)            \[9.2\times {{10}^{-5}}tesla\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               From the relation \[{{B}_{V}}=I\sin \varphi \]                    \[I=\frac{V}{\sin \varphi }=\frac{6\times {{10}^{-5}}}{\sin {{40.6}^{o}}}=\frac{6\times {{10}^{-5}}}{0.65}=9.2\times {{10}^{-5}}\]tesla
