At a certain place,the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is $B_0$ and the angle of dip is $45^o$. The total intensity of the Earth's magnetic field at that place will be:

  • A
    $B_0$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2} B_0$
  • C
    $2 B_0$
  • D
    $B_0^2$

Two bar magnets with magnetic moments $2M$ and $M$ are fastened together at right angles to each other at their centres to form a crossed system,which can rotate freely about a vertical axis through the centre. The crossed system sets in the Earth's magnetic field with the magnet having magnetic moment $2M$ making an angle $\theta$ with the magnetic meridian such that:

The earth's magnetic field lines resemble that of a dipole at the centre of the earth. If the magnetic moment of this dipole is close to $8 \times 10^{22} \text{ Am}^2$,the value of earth's magnetic field near the equator is close to $.... \text{ Gauss}$ (radius of the earth $= 6.4 \times 10^6 \text{ m}$)

Define the angle of dip and the angle of declination.
