At a place, the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is \( 4 \times 10^{-4} \text{ T} \) and angle of dip is \( 60^\circ \). The value of horizontal component of earth's magnetic field at the equator is :

  1. A \( \sqrt{2} \times 10^{-4} \text{ T} \)
  2. B \( 2 \times 10^{-4} \text{ T} \)
  3. C Zero
  4. D \( 8 \times 10^{-4} \text{ T} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( 8 \times 10^{-4} \text{ T} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( H_{eq} = \frac{H}{\cos \delta} \) \( H_{eq} = \frac{4 \times 10^{-4}}{\cos 60^\circ} = \frac{4 \times 10^{-4}}{0.5} = 8 \times 10^{-4} \text{ T} \)
