Exploring the magnetic field of Helmholtz and Maxwell coils: a computer-based approach exploiting the superposition principle

Abstract Teaching magnetism is one of the most challenging topics at undergraduate level in programmes with scientific background. A basic course includes the description of the magnetic interaction along with empirical results such as the Biot-Savart law's. However, evaluating the magnetic fie...
