    The magnetic field of earth at the equator i approximately \[4\times {{10}^{-5}}T\]. The radius of earth is\[6.4\times {{10}^{6}}m\]. Then the dipole moment of the earth will be nearly of the order of:

    A) \[{{10}^{23}}\,A\,m\]

    B) \[{{10}^{20}}\,A\,{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[{{10}^{16}}\,A\,{{m}^{2}}\]

    D) \[{{10}^{10}}\,A\,{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Given, \[B=4\times {{10}^{-5}}\,T\] \[{{R}_{E}}=6.4\times {{10}^{6}}m\] Dipole moment of the earth M=? \[B=\frac{{{\mu }_{0}}}{4\pi }\frac{M}{{{d}^{3}}}\] \[4\times {{10}^{-5}}=\frac{4\pi \times {{10}^{-7}}\times M}{4\pi \times {{(6.4\times {{10}^{6}})}^{3}}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,\,M\cong {{10}^{23}}\,A{{m}^{2}}\]
