Magnetism Question 264

Question: The magnetic needle of a tangent galvanometer is deflected at an angle $ 30{}^\circ $ due to a magnet. The horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field $ 0.34\times {{10}^{-4}}T $ is along the plane of the coil. The magnetic intensity is

Options:

A) $ 1.96\times {{10}^{-4}}T $

B) $ 1.96\times {{10}^{-5}}T $

C) $ 1.96\times 10^{4}T $

D) $ 1.96\times 10^{5}T $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] We know that $ \frac{B}{{B _{^{H}}}}=\tan \theta $ or $ B=B _{H}=\tan \theta $

$ =0.34\times {{10}^{-4}}\tan 30{}^\circ =1.96\times {{10}^{-5}}T $
