Magnetic Field of a cylindrical current sheet
Version 1.0.1 (750 KB) by
Duncan Carlsmith
Calculates and displays the exact magnetic field of an ideal cylindrical current sheet making use of MATLAB elliptic integral functions.
The magnetic field of a cylindrical sheet of current provides a representation of the external field of a cylinder uniformly magnetized along its symmetry axis and and an approximation to a helically wound solenoid and is expressible in terms of elliptical integral functions. This interactive Live Script calculates and displays this magnetic field.
