If the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field at this place is `3 xx 10^(-5)` T, calculate the earth's total magnetic field at that place. Angle of dip = `delta= 60^(@)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the Earth's total magnetic field at a place where the horizontal component is given as \( B_h = 3 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{T} \) and the angle of dip \( \delta = 60^\circ \), we can use the relationship between the horizontal component and the total magnetic field. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the relationship**: The horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field (\( B_h \)) is related to the total magnetic field (\( B \)) and the angle of dip (\( \delta \)) by the formula: \[ B_h = B \cos(\delta) \] ...
