The horizontal component of the earth's ...

The horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is `3.6 xx 10^(-5) T` where the dip is `60^@`. Find the magnitude of the earth's magnetic field.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have `B_(H)=Bcosdelta`
or, `B=(B_(H))/(cosdelta)=(3.6xx10^(-5)T)/(cos60^(@))=7.2xx10^(-5)T`
