Abstract

The coils are usually used to establish a known and uniform magnetic field zone for various applications. It is important to know the area where this magnetic field is
uniform with the different spatial variables x, y, z. In the area where a uniform magnetic field is generated, sensor and magnetic field probes calibrations can be made in a low frequency range. This work is dedicated to calculate and measure the magnetic field generated by Helmholtz coils and to determine the uniformity and accuracy of the magnetic field with respect to the center of symmetry of the studied system.
