Abstract

Helmholtz coils are regularly utilised for various extremely low frequency (ELF) bioelectromagnetic experiments. The evaluation was conducted for the Helmholtz coil magnetic field frequency and uniformity, characterised by frequency-domain and geometric ELF magnetic exposure characteristics. An established approach which consisted of the mathematical calculations of the geometric parameters, computational modeling, and experimental development measurements of the Helmholtz coil´s magnetic field frequency and uniformity, improved the quality of magnetic field uniformity and minimised the magnetic field intensity losses.
