AI Generated Solution

To determine the magnitude of the Earth's magnetic field at the place where the magnetic needle is pointing down at an angle of dip of \(22^\circ\) with the horizontal, we can use the relationship between the horizontal and vertical components of the magnetic field. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Components of the Magnetic Field:** - The horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field (\(B_H\)) is given as \(0.35 \, \text{G}\). - The angle of dip (\(\theta\)) is given as \(22^\circ\). ...
