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
    $B_0^2$

$A$ long straight horizontal cable carries a current of $2.5\;A$ in the direction $10^{\circ}$ south of west to $10^{\circ}$ north of east. The magnetic meridian of the place happens to be $10^{\circ}$ west of the geographic meridian. The earth's magnetic field at the location is $0.33\;G,$ and the angle of dip is zero. Locate the line of neutral points (ignore the thickness of the cable)? (At neutral points,magnetic field due to a current-carrying cable is equal and opposite to the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field.)

The lines joining the places of the same horizontal intensity are known as

If $B_V$ and $B_H$ are respectively the vertical and horizontal components of the earth's magnetic field at a place where the angle of dip is $60^{\circ}$, then the total magnetic field at that place is
