A point at which the magnetic field induction B due/to
a bar magnet is nullified by the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field induction(Bo)is caMed aneutral point. The earth is a huge magnet.At every point/on the earth,its magnetic field has a certain valye for its horizontal component,represented by Bo.It remains constant,both in magnitude as well as in direction,at agiven place.The direction ofthe horizontal componentof the earth's magnetic field is along the magnetic meridian from the geographicar south to the geographical north. The magnetic field lines/around a bar magnet can be mapped with the help/of a magnetic compass.The magnetic field lines/due to a bar magnet are closed loops.They leave at the north pole and enterat the south pole.When you plot the magnetic field lines around a barmagnet,the horizontal component of theearth's maghetic field,Bo,influences the magnetic feldinduction,B,due to the bar magnet.At points close tothe bar magnet,magnetic induction B due to the barJnagnet is very high as compared to the horizontal
