Question

Laticia draws the diagram below to show Earth’s magnetic field.

Answer 1

Answer:

The arrows to the right of Earth should point up

Explanation:

The Earth acts as a huge magnetic dipole, oriented as its axis of rotation, with the North Pole located at the South geographic pole and the South pole located at the North geographical pole.

In a magnetic dipole, the lines representing the field go out from the north pole into the south pole.

This means that for the Earth, the field lines should go from south (which is the north magnetic pole) to north (which is the south magnetic pole): therefore, the arrows to the right of the Earth should point up as well as the line to the left.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is D

Explanation: The arrows to the right of Earth should point up.
