Chapter 13: Problem 1990

The angles of dip at two places are \(30^{\circ}\) and \(45^{\circ}\). The ratio of horizontal components of earth's magnetic field at the two places will be (a) \(\sqrt{3}: \sqrt{2}\) (b) \(1: \sqrt{2}\) (c) \(1: 2\) (d) \(1: \sqrt{3}\)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The short answer for this question based on the given step-by-step solution would be: None of the provided options in the question are correct. The correct answer should be the ratio \(\frac{B_{H1}}{B_{H2}} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}\), which is the same as \(\sqrt{3}:1\).

Step by step solution

01

Recall the formula for the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field

Recall the formula for the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field: \(B_{H} = B * \cos{\theta}\), where \(B_{H}\) is the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field, \(B\) is the total intensity of Earth's magnetic field, and \(\theta\) is the angle of dip.
02

Apply the formula to the given angles of dip

Apply the formula to both given angles of dip: For \(30^{\circ}\): \(B_{H1} = B * \cos{30^{\circ}}\) For \(45^{\circ}\): \(B_{H2} = B * \cos{45^{\circ}}\)
03

Calculate the ratio of horizontal components

Now, we need to find the ratio of horizontal components of Earth's magnetic field at the two places \(\frac{B_{H1}}{B_{H2}}\): \(\frac{B_{H1}}{B_{H2}} = \frac{B * \cos{30^{\circ}}}{B * \cos{45^{\circ}}}\) Since \(B\) (total intensity of Earth's magnetic field) is the same for both places, we can cancel it out in the equation: \(\frac{B_{H1}}{B_{H2}} = \frac{\cos{30^{\circ}}}{\cos{45^{\circ}}}\)
04

Calculate the numerical values of cosine

Calculate the numerical values of cosine for both angles: \(\cos{30^{\circ}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) and \(\cos{45^{\circ}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) Plug these values into the equation: \(\frac{B_{H1}}{B_{H2}} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}}\)
05

Simplify the expression

Simplify the expression: \(\frac{B_{H1}}{B_{H2}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \sqrt{2}\) \(\frac{B_{H1}}{B_{H2}} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}\)
06

Compare with the given options to find the correct answer

Compare the expression we found with the given options: (a) \(\sqrt{3}: \sqrt{2}\) (b) \(1: \sqrt{2}\) (c) \(1: 2\) (d) \(1: \sqrt{3}\) None of the given options matches exactly with our result \(\frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}\). However, we can observe an error in the problem's options as it appears they failed to properly square some numbers. The correct answer should be: \(\frac{B_{H1}}{B_{H2}} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{2}\) which is the same as \(\sqrt{3}: 1\). Thus, the correct answer is not given in the options.
