5. Calculate the vertical, horizontal, and total field magnetic anomaly of a dipole which strikes in the
direction of the magnetic meridian and dips to the north at 60 degrees. The length of the dipole is
15 m with a cross-sectional area of 1.0 m2, depth to the top of the negative pole is 5 m, susceptibility
is 0.003 cgs emu, Earth’s field strength is 55,000 nT with an inclination of 60 degrees. Calculate
these values for positions 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 m south and north along the traverse. Plot the
resulting profiles. You will have to use excel for this question.
Answers are found in Table 2, pg. 462. They may not be exactly the same, but they should be
reasonable.
6. Each of the following magnetometers measures a different specific quantity that is proportional to
the earth’s magnetic field intensity. What is the specific quantity that is measured by a) proton
precession magnetometer, b) fluxgate magnetometer, and c) potassium vapor magnetometer
(optically pumped)?

8. Magnetic measurements have been made on a basalt flow presently at 47˚N, 20˚E. The angle of
inclination of the remnant magnetization of this basalt is 30˚. Calculate the paleomagnetic latitude
of this site at the time the basalt was magnetized.
