COMEDK · Physics · 20. Magnetic Properties of Matter

A jet plane is travelling west at \(450 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). If the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is \(4 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\) and angle of dip is \(30^{\circ}\), then the vertical component is

  1. A \(3 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\)
  2. B \(4 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\)
  3. C \(2.3 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\)
  4. D \(12.308 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2.3 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(B_{H}=4 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\) Angle of \(\operatorname{dip}, \delta=30^{\circ}\) We know that,…
