Magnetic variation (also known as magnetic declination) is often indicated on maps. But if the magnetic variation of a location is unknown, a declinometer can be used. Basically, this tool determines the angle between the celestial pole (roughly indicated by the North Star in the northern hemisphere) and the magnetic pole (indicated by a compass).

How do you know when a wire has current flowing through it?
You can measure with a multimeter. Alternately, you can check for a magnetic field around the wire.You can measure with a multimeter.

What is maxwell?
A unit to measure magnetic flux.
What is happening to earths magnetic field?
In early 2014, scientists have discovered that the Earth's magnetic field has been weakening for some time. This could eventually lead to the switching of the Earth's magnetic poles.
What are the interactions between magnetic objects and electrical circuits?
Magnets actually generate electricity. When a wire is passed through a magnetic field it produces electron flow. Coils of wire can detect magnetic flux variation and be used as sensors.
What does magnetic flux mean in physics?
The magnetic flux is the measure of the strength of a magnetic field. The total magnetic flux through a closed surface is zero, according to Gauss's law for magnetism.
Where is magnetic variation greatest on Earth?
The magnetic variation is greatest on earth at greggs in pakistan.... no need to thank me for the answer
What does an induction magnetometer measure?
The induction magnetometer detects temporal variation of the geomagnetic field based on Faraday's law of magnetic induction.
Does variation mean range in math terms?
No. A range is one measure of variation. It is easy to find, but it is also a rather crude measure.
If in Crete Greece what would the magnetic variation be?
The magnetic variation of Crete is approx. 3.2 degr EAST Greetings, Dimitris
What is the Is the difference between true North and magnetic north?
magnetic variation
What is the name given to the difference between true north and magnetic north?
magnetic variation
What is magnetic variation?
Since the Earth's magnetic poles are not located at the geographic poles, a magnetic compass doesn't point to 'true' (geographic) north. The DIFFERENCE angle between magnetic north and true north is the magnetic variation or declination where you are. It changes for different locations.
What is the term used for difference between true north and magnetic north?
Magnetic declination or variation.
The measure of dispersion most affected by one extreme value is the?
coefficient of variation
Different magnetic deviation and magnetic variation?
In relation to aviation... Deviation is the difference between a true heading and the compass heading. The compass heading is different from true due to magnetic fields induced by the components of the aircraft. Variation is the difference (angle) between True North and Magnetic North. Variation changes depending on your position and is normally indicated on maps as a dashed line with the variation in degrees along that particular line.
Does magnetic variation change with latitude?
Yes Latitudes at equator(lat =0) have the least magnetic variation, the values increases as we move toward north (ie greater latitude).
What effect does magnetic variation have on the earths orientation?
Absolutely none.
