What is magnetic field

B. Why is it important for the Earth?

c. What are the effects of magnetic field to the earth

Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer:

 

Magnetic Field: 

The term magnetic field is represented as the field which is generated by the charged particles or magnetic materials. In the standard international system, the magnetic field is measured in terms of tesla. The magnetic field of a particular particle relies on the charge as well as on its velocity.

 

(B) 

The Earth’s magnetic field varies from 25 mT to 65 mT. On Earth, the magnetic field is essential because, without a magnetic field, it will be impossible to sustain life. The effect of the radiation of the sun will increase due to the lack of presence of the magnetic field in our atmosphere.
