    The magnetic flux density was measured with and without current flowing through an overhead power cable. The difference in the readings was used to calculate the current in the cable, which was determined to be flowing East based on the direction of the magnetic field it produced relative to Earth's field. The current was calculated to be 200 amps.

    Problem 5.13 A long, East-Westoriented power cable carrying an unknown current I is at a height of 8 m above the Earths surface.

    If the magnetic ux density recorded by a magnetic-eld meter placed at the surface is 15 T when the current is owing through the cable and 20 T when the current is zero, what is the magnitude of I ? Solution: The power cable is producing a magnetic ux density that opposes Earths, own magnetic eld. An EastWest cable would produce a eld whose direction at the surface is along NorthSouth. The ux density due to the cable is B = (20 15) T = 5 T. As a magnet, the Earths eld lines are directed from the South Pole to the North Pole inside the Earth and the opposite on the surface. Thus the lines at the surface are from North to South, which means that the eld created by the cable is from South to North. Hence, by the right-hand rule, the current direction is toward the East. Its magnitude is obtained from 5 T = 5 106 = which gives I = 200 A. 4 107 I 0 I = , 2 d 2 8
