At a certain place, the angle of dip is 30

^ \circ

and the horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field is 0.50 oersted. The earth’s total magnetic filed (in oersted) is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

\frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}

Option C (

\frac{1}{{\sqrt 3 }}

) is correct because the earth's total magnetic field is related to the horizontal component and the angle of dip by the formula

B = \frac{B_H}{\cos \delta}

.
