Consider two thin identical conducting wires covered with very thin insulating material. One of the wires is bent into a loop and produces a magnetic field $B_1$ at its centre when a current $I$ passes through it. The second wire is bent into a coil with three identical loops adjacent to each other and produces a magnetic field $B_2$ at the centre of the loops when a current $I/3$ passes through it. The ratio $B_1 : B_2$ is

$A$ telephone cable at a place has four long straight horizontal wires carrying a current of $1.0 \; A$ in the same direction from east to west. The earth's magnetic field at the place is $0.39 \; G$ and the angle of dip is $35^{\circ}$. The magnetic declination is nearly zero. What are the resultant magnetic fields at points $4.0 \; cm$ below and above the cable?
