plot a 6 turn coil with 1a current and its magnetic field in matlab

To plot a 6-turn coil with 1A current and its magnetic field in MATLAB, you can follow these steps.

main.m
% Define the parameters
I = 1; % Current in Amperes
N = 6; % Number of turns in the coil
R = 0.05; % Radius of the coil in meters

% Range of x and y coordinates
x = -0.1:0.001:0.1;
y = -0.1:0.001:0.1;

[X, Y] = meshgrid(x, y);

% Calculate the magnetic field components
Bx = (mu0 * N * I * R^2) ./ (2 * pi * ((X.^2 + Y.^2 + R^2).^(3/2))) .* Y;
By = (mu0 * N * I * R^2) ./ (2 * pi * ((X.^2 + Y.^2 + R^2).^(3/2))) .* -X;

% Plot the magnetic field using quiver plot
figure;
quiver(X, Y, Bx, By);
xlabel('x (m)');
ylabel('y (m)');

In this code snippet, we first define the current (I), number of turns (N), and radius (R) of the coil. Then, we create a meshgrid of x and y coordinates to calculate the magnetic field components (Bx and By) using the Biot-Savart law. Finally, we plot the magnetic field using a quiver plot.

Please note that you need to define the permeability of free space (mu0) for accurate results.
