Abstract:
This paper describes the construction of a Helmholtz coil to be used as a magnetic field generator during the calibration of magnetic field sensors. A magnetic field meter was calibrated using the coil to test its efficiency. The obtained results were then compared to the meter’s calibration sheet.
Keywords:
calibration, uncertainty, magnetic fields, magnetic field measurement, coils.
