At the place where the angle of dip is $60^{\circ}$,what is the relation between the vertical component $Z_{E}$ and the horizontal component $H_{E}$ of the Earth's magnetic field?

  • A
    $Z_{E} = H_{E}$
  • B
    $Z_{E} = \sqrt{3} H_{E}$
  • C
    $H_{E} = \sqrt{3} Z_{E}$
  • D
    $H_{E} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} Z_{E}$

$A$ long straight horizontal cable carries a current of $2.5\;A$ in the direction $10^{\circ}$ south of west to $10^{\circ}$ north of east. The magnetic meridian of the place happens to be $10^{\circ}$ 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.)
