At one place on earth, the resultant magnetic field is 0.25 G and the angle of dip is 45°. The horizontal component of earth's magnetic field will be

  1. A 0.18 G
  2. B 0.25 G
  3. C 0.35 G
  4. D 0.125 G
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.18 G

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(B_H = B \cos \delta\) \(B_H = 0.25 \, G \times \cos 45^\circ\) \(B_H = 0.25 \, G \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) \(B_H = 0.17677 \, G \approx 0.18 \, G\)
