Let \(m\) and \(r\) are the dipole moment and radius of earth respectively. Then, the earth's magnetic field at the equator is

  1. A \(\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{m}{r^3}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mu_0}{8 \pi} \frac{m}{r^3}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi} \frac{m}{r^3}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mu_0}{\pi} \frac{m}{r^3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{m}{r^3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(m=\) magnetic dipole moment of earth \(r=\) radius of earth It is assumed that earth has a bar magnet inside it Hence, magnetic field at any point on equitorial line of earth's bar magnet is given as, \(B=\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \cdot \frac{m}{r^3}\)
