INSTRUMENT USED IN CANADA, BY GOVERNMENT AGENCY GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA, DEPT. OF MINES & TECHNICALSURVEYS
Function
HELMHOLTZ COIL IS DEVICE USED TO CREATE RELATIVELY UNIFORM MAGNETIC FIELD, CONSISTING OF TWO IDENTICAL CIRCULAR COILS ON COMMON AXIS, CONNECTED IN SERIES, & SEPARATED BY RADIUS OF ONE OF COILS. IT IS USED TO PRODUCE MAGNETIC FIELDS OF DESIRED LEVELS FOR CALIBRATING OF INSTRUMENTS USED IN FIELD, FOR INSTANCE FOR PROSPECTING FOR DEPOSITS OF IRON & NICKEL.
Technical
CONSTRUCTION SUGGESTS THAT THIS DEVICE WAS PROBABLY MADE AT GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF CANADA. IT CONSISTS OF TWO FLAT CIRCULAR RINGS SEPARATED BY METAL POSTS; RINGS HAVE BEEN GROOVED & DRILLED TO ACCOMMODATE COPPER WIRE WHICH CREATES COILS USED TO GENERATE MAGNETIC FIELD.
