Helmholtz coils are frequently used in experiments because they create a uniform magnetic field about their central axis. For example, they are traditionally used in the experiment for the measurement of the charge‑to‑mass ratio of the electron. Helmholtz coils are two coils separated by a distance equal to their radius and also carry equal currents in the same direction, as shown in the figure. Suppose the radius of the coils is ?=16.50 cm R=16.50 cm and each coil carries a current of ?=15.50 AI=15.50 A and has ?=500.0 turns.N=500.0 turns. The coils are in the ??yz plane where one coil's center is at ?=0 x=0 the other coil's center is at ?=?.x=R.

Using the Biot–Savart law, determine the expression for the resultant magnetic field ??Bx along the line ?x joining their centers. Express the magnetic field in terms of the radius of the coils ?,R, the number of turns ?,N, the current ?,I, ?,x, and the permeability of free space, ?0.

Bx= ?

Evaluate the magnetic field ??Bx at ?=4.125 cm x=4.125 cm (14?)(14R) and ?=12.38 cm x=12.38 cm (34?).

Helmholtz coils are a method developed to provide a uniform magnetic field in a small region. They are constructed by placing two identical wire loops parallel to each other, separated by a distance equal to their radii, as shown in the Figure. Assume that the two loops are also connected in parallel to a power supply, so that they produce the same field. (a) Find the length of a 28-gauge copper wire that will produce a 75 Ω coil. m...

A sphere made of a linear magnetic material with Xm is placed in a uniform magnetic field B0. Determine the field inside the sphere. Hint: The external field will magnetize the sphere. This magnetization will create another uniform magnetic field inside the sphere which will cause an additional magnetization. Thus, you need to find a series expression.
