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

  • question_answer
    The angle of dip at a certain place is 30o. If the horizontal component of the earth?s magnetic field is H, the intensity of the total magnetic field is     [UPSEAT 1993, 2000; MP PMT 2002]

    A)            \[\frac{H}{2}\]                     

    B)            \[\frac{2H}{\sqrt{3}}\]

    C)            \[H\sqrt{2}\]                        

    D)            \[H\sqrt{3}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[{{B}_{H}}=B\cos \varphi \Rightarrow B=\frac{{{B}_{H}}}{\cos \varphi }\Rightarrow B=\frac{{{B}_{H}}}{\cos {{30}^{o}}}=\frac{2{{B}_{H}}}{\sqrt{3}}\]
