Earth's Magnetic Field components in a region

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the Earth's magnetic field strength in specific locations, particularly in Canadian cities. The user seeks to compare their experimental results with official data from institutes. While information is readily available for American cities, Canadian data appears to be more challenging to locate. Suggestions for resources or methods to obtain this information are welcomed. Accurate local magnetic field data is essential for validating experimental findings.

Any know a way I could find out the Earth's field in the city I live in.

I ask this because I have performed the charge to mass ratio experiment and my prof said it would be nice to compare the field i found for the Earth and the actual field recorded by some institute.

I can find information for American cities but not for Canadian

Thread 'Maxwell stress tensor'

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...

Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'

Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
