The horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is $3.6 \times 10^{- 5} T$ where the dip angle is $60 °$ . The magnitude of the Earth's magnetic field is

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Horizontal component of Earth’s field,

$H = B \cos θ,$ since, $θ = 60 °$

$3.6 \times 10^{- 5} = B \times \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow B = 7.2 \times 10^{- 5}$ $tesla$
