While on a hike in the North Cascades National Park in the state of Washington, where the magnetic field declination is 17.0 degrees, you want to reach a campsite which is 28.3 km due north of your current position. You look at your compass, and walk 28.3 km in the direction the compass points but after walking the full distance, the campsite is nowhere in view. How far south are you from the campsite? km

While on a camping trip, you determine which direction is north by making nighttime observations of the North Star, Polaris, which lies within one degree of the direction of the Earth's axis. In the morning, you read your compass by daylight and find it points more than twenty degrees away from the direction you identified as north the night before. What happened? You did not account for the effect of sunlight on a compass, which will change its direction. You did not account for magnetic field declination in comparing the compass reading to geographic north. You did not account for diurnal variation, in which the direction of the magnetic field changes from night to day. You did not account for magnetic field inclination.

The magnetic field declination at your location is 19.0 degrees east of north and the inclination is 71.0 degrees. If the magnitude of the Earth's magnetic field is 0.0600 mT at your location, how much current must flow in a long vertical wire placed 1.00 cm from the compass in order to make the compass point in the direction of geographic north? (Ignore the size of the compass compared to its distance from the wire and assume the compass is in a uniform magnetic field given by the value of the field 1.00 cm from the wire.) amperes.
