JEE Main & Advanced Physics Magnetism Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Magnetism and Matter

  • question_answer
    Let V and H be the vertical and horizontal components of earth's magnetic field at any point on earth. Near the North Pole

    A) V>>H 

    B) V<<H

    C) V=H

    D) V=H=0

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[H=B\,\cos \,\theta \] \[V=B\,\,\sin \,\theta \] Here B = earth's magnetic field \[\theta \] = angle of dip = \[90{}^\circ \] at north pole \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,H=B\,\cos {{90}^{o}}=0\] \[V=B\,\sin \,{{90}^{o}}=B\Rightarrow B>>H\]
