B) is especially strong
C) nearly cancels the Earth's magnetic field
D) is parallel to the plane of the coils
E) is nearly uniform

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Helmholtz coils are designed to produce a region of nearly uniform magnetic field between the two coils, which is useful for experiments requiring a consistent magnetic field.
