What manipulations do you want to do?NMNXX said:
Thank you for the interest.Project: I am currently trying to produce more magnetic flux through a coil. I have a round 3 foot diameter coil that I am trying to fill the entire inner area of the coil with a magnetic field and also project field a distance of 12 inches from the coil. Manipulation: I would like to manipulate the field in two ways. 1. Project the field a greater distance from the coil. 2. Fill entire area with field. Please correct me if I am wrong but my understanding is that I can do 3 things to increase or manipulate the magnetic flux. 1. increase number of turns in coil. 2. increase charge or current. 3. Increase or change shape of coil. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank youcnh1995 said:
Thank you for the article. I apologize for the vagueness.rumborak said:
You can also use ferrous metal shapes to guide the flux.NMNXX said:
Thank you for the reply, I have been looking at the Helmoltz coil but have not done decided if it will work for my application. I am afraid I will not be able to reach the distance I need between the two coils. Thanks againberkeman said:

Are you working with DC magnetic fields or 60Hz AC magnetic fields? If AC, you can buy inexpensive probes that plug into your DVM to let you know what your field strength is throught the coil and surrounding area. Here is one that I've used in the past:NMNXX said:
Currently we are researching into both AC and DC coils that looks like a product/tool I could use thank youberkeman said:
Magnetic flux is a measurement of the total magnetic field passing through a specific area. It is represented by the symbol Φ and is measured in units of webers (Wb).
Magnetic flux is calculated by multiplying the strength of the magnetic field (B) by the area of the surface where the field is passing through (A). This can be represented by the equation Φ = B x A.
Magnetic flux can be manipulated by changing either the strength of the magnetic field or the area it is passing through. This can be done using magnets, electric currents, or by altering the shape or size of the surface.
Manipulating magnetic flux allows us to control the amount of magnetic energy present in a system. This has many practical applications, such as in motors, generators, and transformers.
Yes, there can be risks associated with manipulating magnetic flux, as it involves strong magnetic fields. These risks can include interference with electronic devices, heating of conductive materials, and potential harm to living organisms. It is important to handle and manipulate magnetic flux carefully and with proper safety precautions.
