Abstract
The problem of obtaining a uniform magnetic field within a nondegenerate ellipsoid by the use of an appropriate surface current distribution is investigated. The curves of constant current on the surface of the ellipsoid are determined. The relation of the present work to the design of deflection coils is discussed.
