In Figure an arrangement known as Helmholtz coils consists of two circular coaxial coils, each of N
Question:
In Figure an arrangement known as Helmholtz coils consists of two circular coaxial coils, each of N turns and radius R, separated by distance s. The two coils carry equal currents i in the same direction.
(a) Show that the first derivative of the magnitude of the net magnetic field of the coils (dB/dx) vanishes at the midpoint P regardless of the value of s. Why would you expect this to be true from symmetry?
(b) Show that the second derivative (d2B/dx2) also vanishes at P, provided s = R. This accounts for the uniformity of B near P for this particular coil separation.

A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetic materials. A moving charge in a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its own velocity and to the magnetic field. The video shows the practical implications of magnetic force around different objects.
