At certain places on earth, the angle of dip is \( 30^\circ \). If horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is H, then the total intensity of earth's magnetic field will be :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( 2H/\sqrt{3} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( H = B \cos \theta \) \( B = H / \cos 30^\circ \) \( B = H / (\sqrt{3}/2) \) \( B = 2H/\sqrt{3} \)
