The fundamental magnetic element is a dipole or combination of one positive and one negative magnetic monopole. The characteristics of the magnetic field are derived from the combined effects of non-existent monopoles. Dipole Field The earth’s main magnetic field Source of Protons and DC current source Proton precession generates an alternating current in the surrounding coil M GF f F 2L 2 Proton precession frequency (f) is directly proportional to the main magnetic field intensity F. L is the angular momentum of the proton and G is the gyromagnetic ratio which is a constant for all protons (G = 0.267513/ sec). Hence - F 23.4874 f Magnetic north pole: point where field lines point vertically downward Compasses point to the magnetic north pole.

Their variations are much more erratic and unpredictable Today’s Space Weather Real Time Magnetic field data In general there are few corrections to apply to magnetic data. The largest non-geological variations in the earth’s magnetic field are those associated with diurnal variations, micropulsations and magnetic storms. The vertical gradient of the vertical component of the earth’s magnetic field at this latitude is approximately 0.025nT/m. This translates into 1nT per 40 meters. The magnetometer we have been using in the field reads to a sensitivity of 1nT and the anomalies we observed at the Falls Run site are of the order of 200 nT or more. Hence, elevation corrections are generally not needed. Variations of total field intensity as a function of latitude are also relatively small (0.00578nT/m). The effect at Falls Run would have been about 1/2 nT from one end of the site to the other. International geomagnetic reference formula The single most important correction to make is one that compensates for diurnal variations, micropulsations and magnetic storms. This is usually done by reoccupying a base station periodically throughout the duration of a survey to determine how total field intensity varies with time and to eliminate these variations in much the same way that tidal and instrument drift effects were eliminated from gravity observations. Anomalies - Total Field and Residual The regional field can be removed by surface fitting and line fitting procedures identical to those used in the analysis of gravity data. Magnetic susceptibility is a key parameter, however, it is so highly variable for any given lithology that estimates of k obtained through inverse modeling do not necessarily indicate that an anomaly is due to any one specific rock type. N S Opposites attract N S S N Magnetic fields are associated fundamentally with circulating electric currents, so that we can also formalize concepts like pole strength, dipole moment, etc. in terms of current flow relationships. Cross sectional area A + pl = n iA pl is the dipole moment l Units of pole strength - niA p ampere meter l I=kF I kFE I is the intensity of magnetization and FE is the ambient (for example - Earth’s) magnetic field intensity. k is the magnetic susceptibility. The intensity of magnetization is equivalent to the magnetic moment per unit volume or M Magnetic dipole I V moment per unit volume and also, I kFE . M pl I V V Thus p and A kFE p kAFE where yielding M pl p kAFE Recall from our earlier discussions that magnetic field intensity p H or F 2 so that r p Fr 2 Thus providing additional relationships that may prove useful in problem solving exercises. For example, F kFE A r2 What does this tell us about units of these different quantities? We refer to the magnetic field intensity as H or ambiguously by some as F dyne Force H pole strength ups 1 dyne an Oersted ups p ups H (or F ) 2 2 r cm thus 1 Oersted 1 ups cm 2 Force varies inversely as the square of the distance between charges, masses or poles. It has the general form F m1m2 r2 Potential on the other hand refers to the energy available to do work and is the integral of the force times displacement. V Fdr m1m2 dr 2 r What is this integral? m1m2 V Fdr 2 dr r Remember the general power rule for integration n r dr 1 n 1 r C n 1 Since n is -2, n+1 = -1 so that the potential V is simply m r As we have done repeatedly with the force, we express it in terms of force per unit mass, charge or pole to obtain m F 2 r where F is acceleration, electric or magnetic field intensity. We can do the same with the potential writing it as the potential per unit pole strength, or just m V r Note that working with potentials may offer us some simplification since the denominator is in r and not r2.
