A Helmholtz coil Helmholtz coil schematic drawing. A Helmholtz coil is a device for producing a region of nearly uniform magnetic field, named after the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz. It consists of two electromagnets on the same axis, carrying an equal electric current in the same direction. Besides creating magnetic fields, Helmholtz ...
The Helmholtz equation has a variety of applications in physics and other sciences, including the wave equation, the diffusion equation, and the Schrödinger equation for a free particle. In optics, the Helmholtz equation is the wave equation for the electric field. [1] The equation is named after Hermann von Helmholtz, who studied it in 1860. [2]
Two coils in an anti-Helmholtz configuration are used to generate a weak quadrupolar magnetic field; by convention, the coils are separated along the -axis.In the proximity of the field zero, located halfway between the two coils along the -direction, the field gradient is uniform and the field itself varies linearly with displacement from the field zero.
A pair of Helmholtz coils produces a uniform and measurable magnetic field at right angles to the electron beam. This magnetic field deflects the electron beam in a circular path. By measuring the accelerating potential (volts), the current (amps) to the Helmholtz coils, and the radius of the electron beam, e/m can be calculated. [8]
Maxwell describes the use of the 2-coil configuration for the generation of a uniform force on a small test coil. [4] A Maxwell coil of this type is similar to a Helmholtz coil with the coil distance increased from coil radius to and the coils fed with opposite currents.
Teltron electron beam tube Teltron deflection tube with Helmholtz coils and stand. A teltron tube (named for Teltron Inc., which is now owned by 3B Scientific Ltd.) is a type of cathode-ray tube used to demonstrate the properties of electrons.
This design currently holds the efficiency and energy density records for MHD generation. A disc generator has fluid flowing between the center of a disc, and a duct wrapped around the edge. (The ducts are not shown.) The magnetic excitation field is made by a pair of circular Helmholtz coils above and below the disk. (The coils are not shown.)
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 {\displaystyle B_0}, 0.8 {\displaystyle B_0}, 0.9 {\displaystyle B_0}, 0.95 {\displaystyle B_0}, 0.99 {\displaystyle B_0}, 1.01 {\displaystyle B_0}, 1.05 {\displaystyle B_0}, and ...
