Elements of the Earth’s Magnetic Field. The earth’s magnetic field at a point on its surface is usually characterised by three quantities:

(a) declination (b) inclination or dip and (c) horizontal component of the field. These are known as the elements of the earth’s magnetic field. At a place, angle between geographic meridian and magnetic meridian is defined as magnetic declination, whereas angle made by the earth’s magnetic field with the horizontal in magnetic meridian is known as magnetic dip.

Gauss’s Law for Magnetism. By analogy to Gauss’s law of electrostatics, we can write Gauss’s law of magnetism as φB^→ d s^→ = μ₀ min side where φB^→ d s^→ is the magnetic flux and min side is the net pole strength inside the closed surface. We do not have an isolated magnetic pole in nature. At least none has been found to exist till date. The smallest unit of the source of magnetic field is a magnetic dipole where the net magnetic pole is zero. Hence, the net magnetic pole enclosed by any closed surface is always zero. Correspondingly, the flux of the flux of the magnetic field through any closed surface is zero

Question, Consider the two idealised systems
I. a parallel plate capacitor with large plates and small separation and
II. a long solenoid of length L >> R, radius of cross-section.

(a) case I contradicts Gauss’s law for electrostatic fields.
(b) case II contradicts Gauss’s law for magnetic fields.

Magnetisation and Magnetic Intensity. When the atomic dipoles are aligned partially or fully, there is a net magnetic moment in the direction of the field in any small volume of the material. The actual magnetic field inside material placed in magnetic field is the sum of the applied magnetic field and the magnetic field due to magnetisation. This field is called magnetic intensity (H).

The measure that tells us is how a magnetic material responds to an external field is given by a dimensionless quantity is appropriately called the magnetic susceptibility: for a certain class of magnetic materials, intensity of magnetisation is directly proportional to the magnetic intensity.
