At a place the angle of dip is \( 30^{\circ} \). If the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is \( B_H \), the total magnetic field of the earth will be :

  1. A \( B_H/2 \)
  2. B \( 2B_H/\sqrt{3} \)
  3. C \( B_H\sqrt{2} \)
  4. D \( B_H\sqrt{3} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 2B_H/\sqrt{3} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( B_H = B \cos\delta \) \( B = B_H / \cos 30^{\circ} \) \( B = B_H / (\sqrt{3}/2) \) \( B = 2B_H/\sqrt{3} \)
