The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the formula for the magnetic intensity (B) in a tangent galvanometer, which is given by: \[ B = B_h \cdot \tan(\theta) \] where: - \( B \) is the total magnetic intensity, - \( B_h \) is the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field, - \( \theta \) is the angle of deflection. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values**: - The angle of deflection, \( \theta = 30^\circ \). - The horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field, \( B_h = 0.34 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{T} \). 2. **Convert the Angle to Radians (if necessary)**: - In this case, we can directly use degrees since the tangent function can take degrees as input. 3. **Calculate the Tangent of the Angle**: - Calculate \( \tan(30^\circ) \): \[ \tan(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \approx 0.577 \] 4. **Substitute the Values into the Formula**: - Substitute \( B_h \) and \( \tan(30^\circ) \) into the formula: \[ B = B_h \cdot \tan(30^\circ) = (0.34 \times 10^{-4}) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right) \] 5. **Calculate the Magnetic Intensity**: - Now, calculate the value: \[ B = 0.34 \times 10^{-4} \cdot 0.577 \approx 0.196 \times 10^{-4} = 1.96 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{T} \] 6. **Final Answer**: - The magnetic intensity \( B \) is approximately \( 1.96 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{T} \). ### Conclusion: The magnetic intensity due to which the needle is deflected at an angle of \( 30^\circ \) is \( 1.96 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{T} \).
