If we place a bar magnet in the magnetic meridian with its north pole towards geographic north, the neutral point will be :

A long straight horizontal cable carries a current fo 2.5 A in the direction 10^(@) south of west to 10^(@) north of east . The magnetic meridian of the plane happens to be 10^(@) 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.
