Question:medium

At a certain place in the magnetic meridian, the earth's magnetic field is twice its vertical component. The ratio of horizontal component of earth's magnetic field and the total magnetic field of the earth at that place is

Show Hint

The components of the Earth's magnetic field are related by $B^2 = B_H^2 + B_V^2$. For problems involving ratios, substitute one component into the main equation to find the ratio of the two components, and then calculate the final required ratio.
