The radial and horizontal magnitudes of a best-fitting dipole to the Earth\'s ma

Question

The radial and horizontal magnitudes of a best-fitting dipole to the Earth's maghetic field at the Earth's surface are given by BAR, ,4) = "2" Bo"cos(8) where R is radius, e is colatitude (90°-latitude) and is longitude 1. what is the significance of the signs at the north and south poles? 2. plot the radial, horizontal, and total field strength as a function of latitude. Use value given in class for Bo at the surface of Earth. 3. Bo depends on 1/R3. How would the field strength at the surface differ if the Earth has twice the radius? 4. Jupiter has a magnetic field strength of -4.3 Gauss at the equator compared to -o3 for the Earth. As Jupiter has a radius more than 10x the Earth, what does this imply about the source of Jupiter's magnetic field? #1, 2, 4, 6a pg 92-93 of Fowler

Explanation / Answer

ans 1) the sign shows where the all magnetic field line will converge and where the magnetic field line will diverge
