Practice question

**Elements of Earth's field** include declination D, inclination I, horizontal component B_H, total field B = √(B_H² + B_V²). B_H provides compass direction, declination varies with location, important for navigation, inclination 0° at magnetic equator, 90° at poles. A superconductor has a susceptibility of chi = -1 (large and negative) when it transitions to the superconducting state below its critical temperature, expelling all magnetic fields via the Meissner effect, a unique property among materials. Substituting values gives It becomes superconducting, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque relation τ = m B sinθ.
