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