Physics Final Year Topic: Comparison of an Axial Coil-Field Profile with a Biot–Savart Prediction

This Physics final year project maps a low-current coil's axial magnetic field against a geometry-based prediction.

Why choose this project topic?

A focused study of coil field mapping gives you a specific question in magnetostatics. It maps a low-current coil's axial magnetic field against a geometry-based prediction. The bounded comparison creates room to explain how your evidence supports an interpretation and where the method has limits.

How closely does the measured axial field of a teaching coil agree with a finite-coil model?

Agree the apparatus or dataset, comparison range and feasible measurement schedule for coil field mapping with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the materials, variables and comparison conditions for coil field mapping.
  2. 02Use a rated coil and current-limited supply, monitor heating and map sensor position carefully.
  3. 03Evaluate the measurements or model outputs in relation to this question: How closely does the measured axial field of a teaching coil agree with a finite-coil model?

A suggested research approach

Use a rated coil and current-limited supply, monitor heating and map sensor position carefully. Subtract or account for background field, repeat measurements and propagate uncertainty in current, geometry and sensor alignment. Agree the available resources and record uncertainty, deviations from the protocol and any observations that challenge the initial interpretation.

What you will need

  • A rated teaching coil and current-limited supply
  • Suitable magnetic-field sensor
  • Position, current and background-field records

Keep your project scope clear

Sensor offset, finite winding thickness and alignment can produce systematic differences from an idealised coil formula.
