Earth's Magnetism
Question

The angle of dip at a place is 40.6o and the intensity of the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field is 6 x 10-5T. The total intensity of the earth's magnetic field at this place is sin40.60=0.65

Easy
Solution

From the relation, BV=B sinϕ

B=BVsinϕ=6 x 10-5sin 40.6o=6 x 10-50.65=9.2 x 10-5 T
