The angle of dip at a certain place on earth is `60^@` and the magnitude of the earth's horizontal component of the magnetic field is 0.26 G . The magnetic field at the place on earth is

A

0.13G

B

0.26G

C

0.52G

D

0.65G

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`B_(H) = B_(e) cos delta rArr B_(e)= (0.26)/(cos 60^(@))= 0.52G`
