SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the magnetic flux density produced by a single-loop coil with a current of 5 amps, using the formula β = μ0*I*n/2πr. The participants highlight discrepancies between theoretical calculations and experimental results, specifically noting a measured voltage of 6.2 mV at a distance of 10 mm from the coil. Key issues identified include the importance of using correct units and the impact of environmental factors on measurements, as well as the need for precise calculations involving the permeability of free space, μ0 = 4π × 10-7 N/A2.
