The purpose of this experiment is to measure magnitude and direction of the Earth’s Magnetic Field where by modeling it as a bar magnetic a first order approximation can be obtained. In general, the South magnetic pole is located close to the Earth’s North geographical pole whereas the North Pole is located close to the Earth’s South geographical pole. It should also be noted that a magnetic field is also known as a vector field for the reason being that it has a local direction and magnitude and if locations are changed so is the magnetic field. The magnetic field can be broken into two parts which are the Horizontal component that points parallel with the Earth’s surface and the vertical which points perpendicular. North to South is the direction
