What Magnetic Field Would be Generated from this Coil Layout (Picture)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the magnetic field generated by a specific coil layout, which resembles that of a rectangular coil but includes variations due to the wire's dents. Participants recommend using simulation software such as Mathematica or Matlab to obtain precise field representations. The Biot-Savart law is highlighted as a fundamental principle for understanding the magnetic field generated by current-carrying conductors.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Biot-Savart law
  • Familiarity with coil configurations and their magnetic properties
  • Proficiency in using simulation software like Mathematica or Matlab
  • Basic knowledge of electromagnetic theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to implement the Biot-Savart law in simulation software
  • Learn to use Mathematica for electromagnetic field simulations
  • Explore Matlab's capabilities for simulating magnetic fields
  • Investigate the effects of coil geometry on magnetic field distribution
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, physicists, and students interested in electromagnetic theory and simulation of magnetic fields.

If you want a precise answer, simulate it.
It would look similar to the field of a rectangular coil, just with dents following the dents of the wire.
 
Thanks for you reply, how would I go about simulating it? What program would I use? Any information is greatly appreciated.
