Magnetic susceptibility measurement

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the design of coils for magnetic susceptibility measurement, specifically focusing on the number of turns required for the drive, excitation, and reference coils. The user is utilizing the formula B = μ₀NI/L to calculate the magnetic field strength, where B is set to 35,000 nT, μ₀ is 4π x 10^-7, I is the current, and L is the linear length of the solenoid. There is uncertainty regarding whether to use linear length or 2πR in the calculations. The importance of dimensional analysis to validate the equations used is emphasized.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic theory, particularly magnetic fields and coils.
  • Familiarity with the formula B = μ₀NI/L and its applications.
  • Basic knowledge of inductance bridges, specifically Maxwell's inductance bridge.
  • Experience with dimensional analysis to verify equations in physics.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the application of the formula B = μ₀NI/A for different coil configurations.
  • Study the principles of Maxwell's inductance bridge for accurate measurements.
  • Learn about the effects of coil winding techniques on magnetic field strength.
  • Explore dimensional analysis methods to validate physical equations in electromagnetism.
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, physicists, and researchers involved in magnetic field measurements and coil design will benefit from this discussion.

Hi,

I have to make a coil.I do not know anything about its dimensions but know that it is to be used to measure magnetic field,its actually to be used in a magnetic susceptibility measurement.There are 3 coils, drive, excitation, measurement and I/p is given at 1000hz frequency.
I need to know the No. of turns ?Please suggest!"

Coils

I have to wind 3 coils,The transmitter/drive/excitation and the reference coils are wound one over the other on the solenoid and the receiver/measurement is 40cm down this.Ref and msmt coils are in the maxwell's inductance bridge.In order to consider the number of turns(N),initially when I am just driving the DRIVE/EXCITATION/transmitter COIL, do I still need to consider the number of turns of the Reference coil- although the ref. coil is not electrically connected to drive coil circuitry.But it is just that the transmitter/drive coil and the ref are wound one over the other.I am considering the formula B=u0NI/L: B=35000nT(I have to get).U0=4*3.14*10^-7, N=I need to find,I= Current in the COIL and L= Length is the linear length of solenoid over which the coil is wound.Is this formula, that I m using correct? or Should I use,B=u0NI/A or B=U0NIA.I need your help.I am not sure about the last two formulas.In the first I am NOT SURE is it the LINEAR LENGTH or the 2piR

Well, if you are not sure about the equations, where are you getting them from? Do the dimensions work out? The dimensional check should show you which equation is more likely to be correct...
