Helmholtz Coil

Identifier: E&M: M - 031

Helmoltz Coil

Concept Overview:

  1. Production of a uniform magnetic field resulting in a circular beam of electrons
  2. Measurement of the charge to mass ratio of the electron

Lecturer Procedure

Step(s) to Follow

  1. Turn on coil
  2. Wait 30 seconds - unit will perform self test.
  3. Adjust voltage to 200V
  4. Adjust current until circular beam exists 

Expected Result

Electron beam curved in a circle


For charge to mass ratio:

Measure the diameter of the beam and complete the necessary calculations
