| DescriptionHelmholtz coil, B magnitude cross section.svg | English: Cross section of B (magnetic field strength) magnitude in aHelmholtz 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, whereB0 is field strength at center. The large center area has almost uniform field strength. |
