Hexagonal coil systems for uniform magnetic field generation
- Abstract
In some disciplines of research and technology, controlled magnetic field generation with a very high degree of uniformity is the prime need. Due to structural constraints and ease of access, it is not always possible to use circular and square coils. This paper presents the mathematical analysis of the homogeneous magnetic field produced by two, three and four hexagonal coil systems. It presents a technique to compute optimum placement and ampere-turns of each coil for the desired magnetic field with maximum uniformity. The analytical results are verified using graphical results simulated on MATLAB.
