At a certain place, the horizontal component `B_(0)` and the vertical component `V_(0)` of the earth's magnetic field are equal in magnidude. The total intensity at the place will be

A

`B_(0)`

B

`B_(0)^(2)`

C

`2 B_(0)`

D

`sqrt2 B_(0)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`b= sqrt(B_(H)^(2) + B_(V)^(2))= sqrt(2B_(0))`
