The discussion revolves around the magnetic field produced by two identical current-carrying loops of wire when positioned in parallel. The original poster questions the conditions under which a uniform magnetic field is generated at a specific point between the loops, particularly focusing on the relationship between the separation distance and the radius of the loops.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants clarifying terms and concepts related to the magnetic field and its uniformity. There is no explicit consensus yet, but the dialogue is focused on understanding the definitions and assumptions involved in the problem.
Participants are examining the implications of the distance between the loops and its effect on the magnetic field, with specific attention to the definitions of key terms such as "uniform" and the spatial reference points being discussed.
What do you mean by the "centre of the space between the loops"? Are you referring to a plane that is equidistant from the plane of each loop? Or are you referring to the axis between the centres of the two loops?Brainy_Mike said:If I generate current through two identical loops (parallel) of transformer wire in the same direction, why do they produce an uniform magnetic field at the centre of the space between the loops ONLY IF the separation distance between the loops is equal to the radius of each coil? and not if they are closer?
That is a point. What do you mean by 'uniform'? Uniform means the same over a number of points.Brainy_Mike said:the midpoint on the axis through the centres of the two loops
