Hi, currently I working on a helmholtz coil, to generate a radio-frequency at the centre of the coil, a field strength of 1A to 2A is put into the coil, and the frequency ranges from 10Mhz to 50Mhz.
However, currently I am facing a problem where I believe the fields are not at the centre of the coil. The measured inductance of the coil is 4.87mH and resistance is 1.43 ohm.
Here comes my question...
1.From my reading, am I safe to say that the adding of capacitor to this circuit will "remove/cancel out" the inductance,and solve my problem of the "field not at the centre" of the coil?
2. Using LC circuit, given inductance is 4.87mh, and resistance is 1.43ohm. I have done some calculations.
with Frequency = 50Mhz.
where 50 * 10^6 = 1/ (2pie ( sqrt ( 4.87* 10^(-3)C )
my Capacitance value would be 2.0803 x 10^(-15)
currently, I am only able to find capacitor value of .1 x 10^(-12) F in the mkt.
To remove the inductance, do i really need to arrange 49 capacitor rated at .1 x 10^(-12) F in series?
(as I assume the number of capacitor arrange in series = x)
(
2.08 x 10^(-15) = 1 / ( x ( 1 / (1.01 * 10 ^(-12)) )
x = (0.1 * 10 ^ (-12)) / (2.08 * 10^ - 15)
x = 49
)
Am I wrong in any of my understanding and assumptions?
Is there any other alternatives to solving the problem of high inductance value and the field not in place?
Thanks in advance,for your kind assistance (Not exactly that bright in electronics)
