Assume the average value of the vertical component of Earth’s magnetic field is \(43 \mu \mathrm{T}\) (downward) for all of Arizona, which has an area of \(2.95 \times 10^{5} \mathrm{km}^{2}\). What then are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (inward or outward) of the net magnetic flux through the rest of Earth’s surface (the entire surface excluding Arizona)?
