Quadrupole Magnetic Field

Two properly spaced coils with currents in the same direction can produce a useful magnetic field geometry in the Helmholtz coil arrangement. Also useful is the arrangement obtained by reversing one of the coils to produce a magnetic quadrupole field.

Make currents in same direction: Helmholtz coils
