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

  • question_answer
    At a certain place the horizontal component of the earth?s magnetic field is B0 and the angle of dip is 45o. The total intensity of the field at that place will be  [MP PET 2000; Pb PET 2003]

    A)            B0  

    B)            \[\sqrt{2}\,{{B}_{0}}\]

    C)            2 B0                                          

    D)            \[B_{0}^{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[{{B}_{H}}=B\sin \varphi \Rightarrow B=\frac{{{B}_{H}}}{\sin \varphi }\]\[\Rightarrow B=\frac{{{B}_{o}}}{\sin {{45}^{o}}}=\sqrt{2}{{B}_{0}}\]
