Talk:Helmholtz coil

message: As stated by User:Michael_Hardy the page Helmholtz coil should be merged with Helmholtz Coils.
I create the page Helmholtz Coil following a link from requested page.
I do not know now what is the correct name to use.
Helmholtz Coils is not correct that the second word is uppercase.
The rules state that singular is to be preferred unless the word is generally plural in English (like scissors).
Now in English the word coil exist in singular but only one coil in a Helmholtz coil is not enouth to make the system, so there no exit a Helmoltz coil in singular. A way of giving out of this problem would be to named the article Helmholtz coils system. But I do not like this solution. This name is never used in Physics.
For the moment I will merge Helmholtz Coils into Helmholtz coil and I will create a redirect from Helmholtz Coils to Helmholtz coil and another from Helmholtz coils to Helmholtz coil AnyFile 16:55, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: Hi folks.  The magnetic field contour plot is not correct - the field configuration shown there corresponds to two coils with reverse direction current; it's generated by quadrupole coils.  I believe that Helmholtz coils are by definition set up with currents in the same direction.  At the very least, I'm changing the caption to warn people that the plotted contours are for reverse-current coils.  I'm working on replacing the picture with one for real Helmholtz field contours.  --Bmk 20:45, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I have just attempted to maintain the sources on Helmholtz coil.  I managed to add archive links to 1 , out of the total 1 I modified, whiling tagging 0 as dead.
Please take a moment to review my changes to verify that the change is accurate and correct.  If it isn't, please modify it accordingly and if necessary tag that source with  to keep Cyberbot from modifying it any further.  Alternatively, you can also add  to keep me off the page's sources altogether.  Let other users know that you have reviewed my edit by leaving a comment on this post.

message: The diagram showing the dimensions of a coil pair shows two different dimensions both labeled `R`.   The text describing the dimensions uses the letter `h` for one of these dimensions (the spacing between the coils), but that letter doesn't appear on the diagram.   I understand that the text says for a Helmholtz coil, `h = R`, but for that statement to make sense, the diagram needs to include the `h`.   I've no idea how such diagrams get edited, but replacing the upper `R` with `h` would improve the overall understandability.
