3) Use (2) to find the equation that gives the magnetic field at any point on the principal axis z for two
parallel Helmholtz coils. What is it at the center of the coils midway between them?
-At any point on the principle axis-z of duple coils with n loops:
-At the center of the identical duple coil separated by distance= R, with n loops:
(4) Data and results:

Now plot Bc Vs. Z:
c. What do you conclude about the magnetic field behaviour along the longitudinal axis?
When we go far away from the center of the two coils the magnetic field is
decreasing.
When we go from right to the lift the magnetic field value increases until we reach
the center of the two coils but then if we go more to the lift the value of B is
decreased.
