Question:medium

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

Show Hint

Remember the triangle of magnetic components: $B$ is the hypotenuse, $B_H$ is adjacent to $\delta$, $B_V$ is opposite to $\delta$.

  • $\sqrt{5} B_H$
  • $\sqrt{3} B_V$
  • $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} B_V$
  • $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} B_H$
