4.16 Radius of the circular coil = R
Number of turns on the coil = N
Current in the coil= I
Magnetic field at a point on its axis at a distance x is given as:
B =
where = Permeability of free space = 4 T m
If the magnetic field at the centre of the coil is considered, then x = 0, then
B = =
This is the familiar result for magnetic field at the centre of the coil.
Radius of two parallel co-axial circular coils = R
Number of turns on each coil = N
Current in both the coils = I
Distance between both the coils = R
Let us consider point Q at a distance d from the centre.
Then one coil is at a distance of + d from point Q
Magnetic field at po
