Question: Figure 29-72 shows an arrangement known as a Helmholtz coil. It consists of two circular coaxial coils, each of200turnsand radiusR=25.0cm, separated by a distances=R. The two coils carry equal currentsi=12.2mAin the same direction. Find the magnitude of the net magnetic field at P, midway between the coils.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the net magnetic field at P is, 8.87×106T.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

The radius of coil is, R=25cm=0.25m.

The distance between coils is, s=R=0.25m.

The turns in each coils is, N=200.

The current in coils is, i=12.2mA=0.0122A.

02

Understanding the concept of magnetic field

The magnetic field of the coil is given by equation 1. But the Helmholtz coil consists of two coils, so the net magnetic field is two times the magnetic field of the coil.

Formula:

B=μoiR2n2(R2+Z2)32

03

Calculations of the magnitude of the net magnetic field at P

From equation 1,

role="math" localid="1662755468318" B=μoiR2n2(R2+Z2)32

We have to find the magnetic field at the point P.

Since s=R, the point Pis at a distance R2from the center of the coil.

So, z=R2

Thus, by using the formula

B=μoiR2n2(R2+R22)32

For two coils, the net magnetic field is twice this field.

role="math" localid="1662756071580" B=2μoiR2N2(R2+R22)32B=μoiR2NR3(1+14)32B=μoiNR(54)32B=8μoiN55R

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1662756511182" B=8(4π×10-7TmA)(200)(0.0122A)55(0.25m)B=8.78×10-6T

The magnitude of the net magnetic field at P is role="math" localid="1662756497683" 8.78×10-6T.
