A deflection magnetometer is kept in the tanA position to align the magnetic field produced by the Earth with the plane of the magnetometer's needle. This helps ensure accurate measurements of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field by minimizing external disturbances. The tanA position helps in reducing errors in the measurement caused by stray magnetic fields or misalignment.
To compare the magnetic moments of two magnets using a deflection magnetometer, you would place one magnet at a known distance from the magnetometer and measure the angle of deflection caused by its magnetic field. Then, you would repeat the process with the second magnet at the same distance and compare the angles of deflection. The magnetic moment of the magnets can be compared by the ratio of the sine of the angles to the distance and the Earth's magnetic field strength.
In a deflection magnetometer, the Tan B position is the location where the magnetic needle aligns itself tangentially to the Earth's magnetic field when no external magnetic field is present. It is an important reference point for determining the strength and direction of an external magnetic field.

A magnetometer is a sensing device that detects magnetic fields and is commonly used to measure magnetic anomalies on the seafloor. By mapping these anomalies, geologists can confirm the process of seafloor spreading by identifying patterns of magnetic stripes that align with known geomagnetic reversals. This data provides valuable evidence for plate tectonics and the movement of Earth's crustal plates.
The induction magnetometer detects temporal variation of the geomagnetic field based on Faraday's law of magnetic induction.
