Summary

Description
English: 3D plot of the absolute value of the magnetic field B of a Maxwell coil consisting of three thin circular coils arranged to create a maximally uniform field in the center. The inner central coil has radius R and current I. The two outer coils have radii , axial distance and carry the current 49/64I. The central coil radius R is set to 1. The B-field is given in units of the central field .
