What Magnetic Field Coils Are All About

By Willie McGuire


This Helmholtz coil is a device that produces an almost uniform of magnetic field or also known as a flux. This device is very useful in high frequency bands. You usually encounter these kind of devices in heavy machinery, but most people do not completely understand what magnetic field coils are all about.

A current that carries a conductor is formed into bands that creates a coil. It results into a magnetic field that goes through the middle of the acreage and returns back outside the loop. When it joins with the other loops, it creates a field that is highly concentrated at the middle of the coil.

The band's flux increases when the current also increases but also when another loop is added. A solenoid is a long, straight wire band. It can be used to generate similar fluxes like that of a bar magnet.

The contemplated enclosure inside every band is advantageous in attracting ferromagnetic materials for analysis using the method of particle testing. Not everyone knows that the enclosure outside the loop is weak and is not suitable for magnetizing materials.

The flux goes along with the wire's direction of the current that will show different parts of the enclosure. The band is already a form of a machine's element, a generator for example. It will also need a consecutive circuit.

Most bands achieves a constant and static enclosure. Most of these bands are typically covered with enameled copper wire. But with the increasing cost of copper, aluminum windings are often used. It is sometimes called as magnet wire. The material that is usually being winded up has only a low resistance to reduce the power being consumed. It is also to decrease the heat produced. When there is too much heat, it can cause failure.

When you talk about coils, aluminum and copper are always being utilized. But silver is even a better material. Though it has a high cost, it has lower resistivity. But it has been used in rare situations. You can ask further details about magnetic field coils to professional electrical engineers if you want to know more about these devices.
