At a certain place, the angle of dip is 30 ° and the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is 50   μT . The total magnetic field (in μT ) of the earth at this place, is
Options
- A100 3   μT
- B100   μT
- C100 3   μT
- D200   μT
Correct answer
C. 100 3   μT
Step-by-step solution
B = H cos ⁡ δ = 50 cos ⁡ 30 o = 50   × 2 3 = 100 3   μT (H = horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field and B = total magnetic field of earth)
