Chapter 18.2, Problem 4P

A power line runs north–south carrying 675 A and is 5.00 m above a transit used by a surveyor. (a) What is the magnetic field at the transit because of the power-line current? (b) If the earth’s horizontal component of magnetic field is 5.20×10–5 T, what error is introduced in the surveyor’s angular measurement?
