That's all down to the power of the field and the sensitivity of your measuring intrument.

Less than 1 AU for sure!


From what points do the lines of force of Earth's magnetic field extend?

They extend between the North and South MagneticPoles.


What is a magnetic field will be produced at some point in space if the electric field at the point?

As far as the electric field is stationary then no magnetic field. But when electric field is moving at a uniform speed then a magnetic field will be produced. This is what we call Lorentz magnetic field.


Did others planet magnetic field meet the earth magnetic field?

Planets are too far from each other to have any observable interaction of their magnetic fields.


Is mars magnetic field strong or weak?

no mars magnetic field is not strong because it is far away from the sun than earth.


How can somethings magnetic field like a tokamak not affect the earths magnetic field?

Because it is far too small to have any effect. The Earth's magnetic field is thought to be generated thousands of miles underground by moving rivers of iron.

What happens when a magnetic compass is held in space far away from earth's magnetic field....will it be influenced by the other stellar objects which may or may not have magnetic poles of their own?

How far away? Compasses function based on their interaction with the Earth's magnetic field. If a person were to take a compass outside of that field, it would cease to provide any relevant information. Of course, no human has ever been anywhere near that far away, but interplanetary robots and probes have.


What surrounds the sun and how far does it extend?

The outermost layer is called the Corona and it extends deep into the Solar System (the Earth is actually within it). Beyond that there is the Sun's magnetic field and of course gravity goes on forever, just getting weaker and weaker.


Which are defected by electric and magnetic fields?

Any charged particle in motion especially not parallel to the magnetic field, current carrying conductor kept inclined or perpendicular to the magnetic field would get deflected. As far as electric field is concerned, even stationary charges would be displaced.
