Earth's magnetic dipole moment is $8.0 \times 10^{22} \mathrm{A} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2} .$ Find the magnetic field strength at Earth's magnetic poles.
(I) The Earth's magnetic field is essentially that of a magnetic dipole. If the field near the North Pole is about $1.0 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{T}$ , what will it be (approximately) $13,000 \mathrm{km}$ above the surface at the North Pole?
