When a magnetic field is nonuniform, objects will experience different forces based on their position. Magnetic fields are forces that are created by moving electrical charges and can be established when a charge is moving in space or spinning in place. Creating Uniform Magnetic Fields with Helmholtz Coils It has since been updated for accuracy and to include further information on the Magnetic Field of a Helmholtz Coil tutorial. This post was originally published in 2014.
Here, we’ll look at what Helmholtz coils are, why they are important, and using a simulation-based approach to their design.
These devices are used in MRI, spectroscopy, magnetoresistance measurements, and equipment calibrations. Helmholtz coils are used by scientists to generate uniform magnetic fields to study electromagnetism and its characteristics.
