The earth's magnetic field lines resemble that of a dipole at the centre of the earth. If the magnetic moment of this dipole is close to 8×1022 Am28 \times 10^{22} \text{ Am}^2 , the value of earth's magnetic field near the equator is close to (radius of the earth = 6.4×106 m6.4 \times 10^6 \text{ m} ) a. 0.6 Gauss b. 1.2 Gauss c. 1.8 Gauss d. 0.32 Gauss
