The correct relation is:
$B_H$ = Horizontal component of earth's magnetic field; $B_V$ = Vertical component of earth's magnetic field and $B$ = Total intensity of earth's magnetic field.

  • A
    $B = \frac{B_V}{B_H}$
  • B
    $B = B_V \times B_H$
  • C
    $|B| = \sqrt{B_H^2 + B_V^2}$
  • D
    $B = B_H + B_V$

At some location on Earth,the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field is $18 \times 10^{-6} \ T$. At this location,a magnetic needle of length $0.12 \ m$ and pole strength $1.8 \ A \ m$ is suspended from its mid-point using a thread. It makes a $45^{\circ}$ angle with the horizontal in equilibrium. To keep this needle horizontal,the vertical force that should be applied at one of its ends is:

The pole near the geographic north pole is called ...... . The pole near the geographic south pole is called ...... .

$A$ small bar magnet $A$ oscillates in a horizontal plane with a period $T$ at a place where the angle of dip is $60^o$. When the same needle is made to oscillate in a vertical plane coinciding with the magnetic meridian,its period will be

At a certain place, the angle of dip is $60^{\circ}$ and the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field $(B_H)$ is $0.8 \times 10^{-4} \,T$. The earth's overall magnetic field is
