Magnetic Field Measurement Appartus

Introduction 

The experiment consists of two coils, Constant Current Power Supply and Gaussmeter. The Gaussmeter probe is mounted on a rail with a scale. It can move smoothly and precisely for measurement of magnetic field along the centre of the coils.

The following studies can be carried out with the set-up:

1. Study of magnetic field due to one coil and calculation of its diameter.

2. Study of principal of super-imposition of magnetic field due to 2 coils by keeping the distance between the coils at a, greater than a and less than a, where a is the radius of the coil.
