A
long straight horizontal cable carries a current of 2.5 A in the
direction 10º south of west to 10
°
north of east. The magnetic meridian of the place happens to be 10º
west of the geographic meridian. The earth’s magnetic field at
the location is 0.33 G, and the angle of dip is zero. Locate the line
of neutral points (ignore the thickness of the cable). (At
neutral
points
, magnetic field due to a
current-carrying cable is equal and opposite to the horizontal
component of earth’s magnetic field.)
