Question:

At a certain place, the horizontal component is B0 and the vertical component is V0. If B0 = V0 then the total magnetic field at that place will be:

Options:

B0

2 B0

3 B0

$\sqrt{2}$ B0

Correct Answer:

$\sqrt{2}$ B0

Explanation:

Magnetic field at a place is given by $ B= \sqrt{B_0^2 + V_0^2} = \sqrt{B_0^2 + B_0^2} = \sqrt{2} B_0$
