At a place, the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field is B and angle of dip is 60^@. What is the value of horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field at equator?

Answer»

SOLUTION :The value of horizontal COMPONENT of the earth.s magnetic field at equator is equal to the TOTAL magnetic field `.B_C.` of earth i.e., `(B_H)` equator =` B_E`
As at a given place, horizontal component `B_H = B_E cos delta`, where `delta ` is the angle of dip. Hence , we have `B= B_E cos 60^@ = 1/2 B_E impliesB_E = 2B`
`implies(B_H)_("equator") = B_E = 2B`
