Magnetic Fields of Coils - Wireless

The magnetic fields of various coils are plotted versus position as the Magnetic Field Sensor is passed through the coils, guided by a track. The position is recorded by mounting the Wireless Magnetic Field Sensor to a Wireless Smart Cart which uses an optical encoder in its wheel.

It is particularly interesting to compare the field from Helmholtz coils at the proper separation of the coil radius to the field from coils separated at less than or more than the coil radius. The magnetic field inside a solenoid can be examined in both the radial and axial directions.

Wireless Magnetic Field Sensor

This 3-Axis Magnetic Field Sensor can sense the Earth’s magnetic field, magnetic fields from current-carrying coils, and permanent magnets.

Magnetic Fields of Coils - Wireless

Examine the dependence of the magnetic field strength of current-carrying coils on the distance from the coil along the perpendicular axis.

Helmholtz Coil Set, 500 Turn

Consists of two coils mounted on a base to provide a uniform magnetic field between the coils.
