If \(B_V\) and \(B_H\) are respectively the vertical and horizontal components of the earth's magnetic field at a place where the angle of dip is \(60^{\circ}\), then the total magnetic field at that place is

  1. A \(\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~B}_{\mathrm{H}}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{3} \mathrm{~B}_{\mathrm{V}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \mathrm{~B}_{\mathrm{V}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} B_H\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \mathrm{~B}_{\mathrm{V}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(B = \frac{B_V}{\sin \theta}\) \(B = \frac{B_V}{\sin 60^{\circ}}\) \(B = \frac{B_V}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\) \(B = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} B_V\)
