You cannot make the earth's magnetic field disappear, so while performing magnetic field mappings can the earth's field impact my results? if any at all?
In Mapping magnetic fields where are they the strongest and weakest?

Expert Solution

The earth's magnetic field is quite weak when compared to your magnet of consideration, it really depends upon how accurate you want your field lines to be mapped, if the magnet that you are considering had strength which is less than even earth's field then it will surely affect your mappings, but usually its not the case.

magnetic field is strong if the magnetic field lines are crowded or closely spaced. It can be put technically as the greater the magnetic field lines per unit area, greater will be the magnetic field.
magnetic field lines do not intersect at any point.
in the case of a bar magnet, the field is strong at the both the poles but weak in the middle of its length, although if you split your magnet into two then new north and south poles will be created with lesser pole strength anyhow.

In 2005, the Earth's magnetic field was about 10% weaker than it was in 1845 when German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss first measured it. If the magnetic field continues to weaken by 10% of its current value every 160 years, approximately when will it be half of its 1845 value? When will it be only 35% of its 1845 value? (Note that we are supposing, in this question, that after 320 years the strength of the field is 90% of...

In this simulation, you can examine the magnetic field created by the current in a solenoid, which is a cylindrical coil of wire. Instead of using a spiral-shaped coil, the simulation approximates the coil with a stack of seven single loops. The plane of each loop is parallel to the x-z plane, with a radius of either 60 cm or 25 cm, and the displayed field is in the x-y plane. The parallel-plate capacitor is the standard way to create...
