3. Operation
•
Insert the Helmholtz tubes into the holder
with the connections facing outwards.
•
Push the sleeves on the rod upwards and
insert the rod into the holes at an angle.
•
Push the sleeves into the holes to secure
the coils.
•
For series connection, connect socket Z of
coil 1 to socket Z of coil 2 (refer to Fig 1.1).
Take into account the total current when calcu-
lating B.
•
For parallel connection, connect socket A of
coil 1 to socket Z of coil 2 and socket Z of
coil 1 to socket A of coil 2 (refer to Fig 1.2).
To calculate B the total current 2 I should be
halved since both coils have the same resis-
tance and half the current I passes through each
one.
