In between, the angle varies. As you move farther north, the dip angle, clockwise the angle of the earth's field below horizontal, steadily increases. Green turtles seem to use this dip angle to counterclockwise determine their latitude. Suppose you are a researcher wanting to test this idea.

Explanation / Answer

A) clockwise (when we see from top of the loop)


B)
Let B is the magnetic filed produced by coil.

By = B

and Bx = 0

Given, Bh = 50 micro T

Bhx = Bh*cos(56) = 50*cos(56) = 27.96 micro T

Bhy = Bh*sin(56) = 50*sin(56) = 41.45 micro T


Bnetx = 27.96 micro T

Bety = B + 41.45 micro T


tan(theta) = Bnety/Bnetx

tan(62) = (B + 41.45*10^-6)/(27.96*10^-6)

tan(62)*27.96*10^-6 = (B + 41.45*10^-6)

B + 41.45*10^-6 = 52.58*10^-6

B = (52.58-41.45)*10^-6

= 11.13*10^-6

We know, B = N*mue*I/(2*r)

==> I = B*2*r/(N*mue)

= 11.13*10^-6*2*0.55/(100*4*pi*10^-7)

= 0.10 A <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<------------Answer
