Final Questions (Take Home)
For a stack of N concentric circular loops, each of
radius "a" and carrying current IH (see figure below), the
B field along the x-axis shown is given by eqn (5):
В -
2(x +a)
H

Q1.) One stack:
For one such stack, make a rough sketch of the shape B vs. x. Include both + and - x values.
(Use your graphing calculator or Excel to expedite-use any non-zero values you like for the constants.)
With only visual inspection, identify the one point of zero slope and at least one point of inflection (there is
one on either side of x-0.) Label these on your graph.

Two stacks:

Q2.) Two stacks (general):
Suppose you had two identical stacks, located at x-0 and x-+L respectively. Using the ideas of Q1, you can
see what Bnet VS. X looks like for this double stack, once you have some idea of how large ""L" is.
a.) First, explain conceptually why the overall slope must be zero at x-+L/2 (the midpoint between the
stacks) regardless of the separation distance L.

Then sketch the individual B vs. x from each stack (dotted line) and then Bnet VS. X (solid line) for the cases
described below. (Make sure your graphs are still in agreement with part a!)
b.) assuming a large L value. (Both stacks contribute the concavity seen at large distances in Q1.)
c.) assuming a small L value. (Both stacks contribute the concavity seen at small distances in Q1.)
Q3.) Two stack (special case): Our set-up is called a "Helmholtz coil". This isa two stack system, with the
separation L chosen specifically so that the midpoint of the stack also coincides with the inflection point of
both individual fields.
a.) At this midpoint, what is the slope of Bnet? How about the concavity?
b.) What is the whole purpose of the Helmholtz coil being constructed this way?
To make this happen, one must choose L-a for the Helmholtz coil (stack separation loop radius.)
c.) What is then the x-value at the midpoint? Using this and eqn (5), show that the B field on the x axis
halfway between the two stacks is indeed given by eqn (4). Use symmetry arguments to expedite.
d.) By hand, show this x value is indeed the inflection point of eqn 5.
