Q78 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (29 Jul Shift 2) · Physics

The vertical component of the earth's magnetic field is 6×10-5 T at any place where the angle of dip is 37°. The earth's resultant magnetic field at that place will be (Given tan37°=34)

  • A
    8×10-5 T
  • B
    6×10-5 T
  • C
    5×10-4 T
  • Correct answer
    D
    1×10-4 T

Solution

Figure

Given here:

The vertical component of the earths magnetic field BV=6×10-5 T and angle of dip δ=37°.

For vertical component, BV=Bsinδ

Putting the values, we have 

⇒6×10-5=B35

Earth's magnetic field at that place as B=10×10-5 T =10-4 T

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
