DescriptionHelmholtz coil, B magnitude cross section.svg |
English: Cross section of B (magnetic field strength) magnitude in a Helmholtz coil (actually consisting of two coils: one at the top, one at the bottom in the plot). The eight contours are for field magnitudes of 0.5 B0, 0.8 B0, 0.9 B0, 0.95 B0, 0.99 B0, 1.01 B0, 1.05 B0, and 1.1 B0, where B0 is field strength at center. The large center area has almost uniform field strength. |
