Concept explainers

Magnetic Force

A magnetic force arises when a charged particle or a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field. It is created because of the movement of the charged particles.

Helmholtz coils are frequently used in experiments because they create a uniform magnetic field about their central axis. For example, they are traditionally used in the experiment for the measurement of the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron. Helmholtz coils are two coils separated by a distance equal to their radius that carry equal currents in the same direction." Suppose the radius of the coils is R 18.00 cm and each coil carries a current of /== 11.50 A and has N 340.0 turns. The coils are in the yz plane where one coil's center is at x = 0 the other coil's center is at x = R. -X=R 00
