Assume the dipole model for earth’s magnetic field $\mathrm{B}$ which is given by

${{\rm{B}}_{\rm{v}}} = $ vertical component of magnetic field

$ = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}\frac{{2m\,\cos \theta }}{{{r^3}}}$

${{\rm{B}}_H} = $ Horizontal component of magnetic field

${{\rm{B}}_H} = \frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{4\pi }}\frac{{m\,\sin \theta }}{{{r^3}}}$

$\theta $ $= 90^{°}$ -latitude as measured from magnetic equator.
