A constant pitch helical coil is made from a length L=7m of round conductor having a copper core with diameter d=0.1mm and covered with an insulation of thickness t=0.02m, by winding the conductor on a mandrel having a length Lm=120mm and a diameter dm=3mm and allowing equal leads for connection at the two ends, each with a length l=10mm
