    The value of the horizontal component of the earths magnetic field and angle of dip are\[1.8\times {{10}^{-5}}Wb/{{m}^{2}}\]and\[{{30}^{o}}\], respectively at some place. The total intensity of earths magnetic field at that place will be.

    A) \[2.08\times {{10}^{-5}}Wb/{{m}^{2}}\]

    B) \[3.67\times {{10}^{-5}}Wb/{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[3.18\times {{10}^{-5}}Wb/{{m}^{2}}\]

    D) \[5.0\times {{10}^{-5}}Wb/{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Horizontal component \[\therefore \]  \[H=1.8\times {{10}^{-5}}Wb/{{m}^{2}}\] Angle of dip is the angle between horizontal component and total magnetic intensity. \[\therefore \]  \[I\cos \theta =H\]                              \[(\because \,\,\theta ={{30}^{o}})\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[I=\frac{H}{\cos \theta }\]                 \[=\frac{1.8\times {{10}^{-5}}}{\cos {{30}^{o}}}\]                 \[=2.08\times {{10}^{-5}}Wb/{{m}^{2}}\]
