At some location on earth the horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field is 18×10−6 T. At this location, magnetic needle of length 0.12 m and pole strength 1.8 Am is suspended from its mid-point using a thread, it makes 45° angle with horizontal in equilibrium. To keep this needle horizontal, the vertical force that should be applied at one of its ends is:

(a)

3.6×10−5 N

(b)

6.5×10−5 N

(c)

1.3×10−5 N

(d)

1.8×10−5 N
