Earth's magnetic field may be imagined to be due to a small bar magnet located at the centre of the earth. If the magnetic field at a point on the magnetic equator is 0.3×10-4 T, what is the moment of such a bar magnet? What is the value of the magnetic field at the north pole? (radius of the earth=6.4×106 m)
