(a) If the magnetization of the sphere is saturated, the total dipole moment is µ

total

= N µ, where N

is the number of iron atoms in the sphere and µ is the dipole moment of an iron atom. We wish
to find the radius of an iron sphere with N iron atoms. The mass of such a sphere is N m, where
m is the mass of an iron atom. It is also given by 4πρR

3

/3, where ρ is the density of iron and R is

the radius of the sphere. Thus N m = 4πρR

3

/3 and

N =

4πρR

3m

.

We substitute this into µ

total

= N µ to obtain

µ

We solve for R and obtain

The mass of an iron atom is

m = 56 u = (56 u)(1.66

kg/u) = 9.30

kg .

Therefore,

R =

and the volume of the Earth is

(6.37

so the fraction of the Earth’s volume that is occupied by the sphere is
