The earth’s field, it is claimed, roughly approximates the field due to a dipole of magnetic moment 8 \times 10 ^{22} J T^{-1}located at its centre. Check the order of magnitude of this number in some way.

Magnetic field 

B=\frac{\mu_o M}{4\pi R^3}

substituting the values 

R=6.4\times10^6\ m

\mu_0=4\pi \times 10^{-7}

M=8 \times 10 ^ { 22} J T ^{-1}

then

B=0.3G
