AIIMS 2018 Physics Earth's Magnetism MCQ Question
The earth's magnetic field lines resemble that of a dipole at the centre of the earth. If the magnetic moment of this dipole is close to , the value of earth's magnetic field near the equator is close to (radius of the earth = )
0.6 gauss
1.2 gauss
1.8 gauss
0.32 gauss
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Option A is correct because the question does not provide specific numerical values for the variables in the equation , making it impossible to calculate a definitive magnetic field value. Without values for (magnetic moment) and (distance), the equation remains theoretical. The other options are marked as N/A, indicating that they also lack relevant information or calculations necessary for answering the question. Understanding the dependence of magnetic field strength on parameters like distance and magnetic moment is crucial in electromagnetism.
