Question

At a certain place, the horizontal component B0 and the vertical component V0 of the earth's magnetic field are equal in magnitude. The total intensity at the place will be (A) B0 (B) B02 (C) 2 B0 (D) √2 B0

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

B0=V0; Total intensity, B=√B02 +V02 ⇒ B=√2 B0

Q. At a certain place, the horizontal component $B_{0}$ and the vertical component $V_{0}$ of the earth's magnetic field are equal in magnitude. The total intensity at the place will be

$B_{0}$

$B_{0}^{2}$

$2 B_{0}$

$2 B_{0}$

$B_{0} = V_{0}$ ; Total intensity,
$B = B_{0}^{2} + V_{0}^{2}$
$\Rightarrow B = 2 B_{0}$

Q. At a certain place, the horizontal component B0​ and the vertical component V0​ of the earth's magnetic field are equal in magnitude. The total intensity at the place will be
