The earth's magnetic field at the equator is approximately `0*4G`, Estimate the earth's dipole moment.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To estimate the Earth's dipole moment given that the Earth's magnetic field at the equator is approximately 0.4 Gauss, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the Magnetic Field from Gauss to Tesla The magnetic field \( B \) at the equator is given as 0.4 Gauss. We need to convert this value into Tesla since the standard unit of magnetic field in the SI system is Tesla. \[ 1 \text{ Gauss} = 10^{-4} \text{ Tesla} \] ...
