Abstract

Recently the Bessel function approach to calculating the magnetic fields of coils has been used to calculate the mutual inductance and the force between two non coaxial thick cylindrical coils with parallel axes and uniform radial current distributions. This method can also be applied to calculate the force and inductance between an ordinary coil and a Bitter coil, or between two bitter coils, not necessarily coaxial. Bitter coils give a simpler case of the method, and it is possible to solve analytically for the magnetic field of a bitter disk.
