Assume that the magnitude of the magnetic field outside a sphere of radius R is B = Bo(R/r)², where Bo is a constant. Determine the total energy stored in the magnetic field outside the sphere and evaluate your result for Bo = 5.00× 10-5 T and R= 6.00× 106 m, values appropriate for the Earth's magnetic field.
