KCET2016PhysicsMagnetic Properties of Matter
At certain place, the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is ( 3.0 G ) and the angle dip at that place is ( 30^ ). The magnetic field of earth at that location
Options
- AO.5 G
- B( 5.1 G )
- C( 3.5 G )
- D( 6.0 G )
Correct answer
C. ( 3.5 G )
Step-by-step solution
Given, horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field =3.0 G ; angle of dip =30^ Now, horizontal component = B (angle of dip) 3.0 G=B 30^ B= 3.0 30^ = 3.0 2 3 B=2 3 =3.464 3.5 G Therefore, magnetic field of Earth at that location =3.5 G
