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

  • question_answer
    At a certain place, the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is \[\sqrt{3}\]times the vertical component. The angle of dip at that place is         [MP PMT 1984, 85; AFMC 2000]

    A)            \[60{}^\circ \]                      

    B)            \[45{}^\circ \]

    C)            \[90{}^\circ \]                      

    D)            \[\begin{align}   & 2rH \\  & {{\mu }_{0}}N \\ \end{align}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[{{B}_{H}}=\sqrt{3}\ {{B}_{V}},\]also \[\tan \theta =\frac{{{B}_{V}}}{{{B}_{H}}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\Rightarrow \theta ={{30}^{o}}\]
