The horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field at a place is $3.5 \times 10^{-5} \,T$. $A$ very long straight conductor carrying a current of $\sqrt{2} \,A$ in the direction from South-East to North-West is placed. The force per unit length experienced by the conductor is $..............$ $\times 10^{-6} \,N/m$.

At a certain location in Africa,a compass points $12^{\circ}$ West of the geographic North. The North tip of the magnetic needle of a dip circle placed in the plane of magnetic meridian points $60^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. The horizontal component of the earth's field is measured to be $0.16\, G$. The magnitude of the earth's field at the location will be

Give information about the Earth's magnetic field lines and the location of the magnetic poles.

At the magnetic poles of the earth,a compass needle will be

The earth's magnetic field lines resemble that of a dipole at the centre of the earth. If the magnetic moment of this dipole is close to $8 \times 10^{22} \text{ Am}^2$,the value of earth's magnetic field near the equator is close to $.... \text{ Gauss}$ (radius of the earth $= 6.4 \times 10^6 \text{ m}$)

The intensity of the magnetic field due to the Earth at a point inside a hollow steel box is:
