Question:

A circular coil of 5 turns and a diameter of 30.0 cm is oriented in a vertical plane with its axis perpendicular to the horizontal component of the Earth’s magnetic field. A horizontal compass placed at the center of the coil is made to deflect 45.0° from magnetic north by a current of 0.600 A in the coil.
(a) What is the horizontal component of the Earth’s magnetic field?
(b) The current in the coil is switched off. A “dip needle” is a magnetic compass mounted so that it can rotate in a vertical north–south plane. At this location a dip needle makes an angle of 13.0° from the vertical. What is the total magnitude of the Earth’s magnetic field at this location?
