Uniform magnetic fields in deflection coil design and the problem of the ellipsoid

Gerald E. Marsh

Open publisher page 4 citations

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.
