🔍 Key Concepts

• Earth's magnetic field components: horizontal vs. vertical component • Induced magnetism in soft iron and how it depends on the surrounding magnetic field • Magnetic equator and how the Earth's magnetic field behaves there

💭 Think About

• How does the direction of the Earth's magnetic field change as you move from the magnetic poles toward the magnetic equator? • What is required (in terms of field direction and strength) to induce vertical magnetism in soft iron near the compass? • Which of the options describes a property of the Earth's magnetic field itself, rather than a compass error or heading-related effect?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know what the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field is and where it is strongest/weakest. • Distinguish between field characteristics (how the Earth's field behaves) and compass error terms (like quadrantal error or heading error). • Confirm which choice directly explains why vertical soft iron would or would not become magnetized at the magnetic equator.
