plot the 3d magnetic field generated by 1a of current passing through a 6-turn coil in matlab

To plot the 3D magnetic field generated by 1A of current passing through a 6-turn coil in MATLAB, you can use the following code snippet:

main.m
% Constants
I = 1; % Current in Amperes
N = 6; % Number of turns

% Create a grid of points where you want to visualize the magnetic field
[x, y, z] = meshgrid(-1:0.1:1, -1:0.1:1, -1:0.1:1);

% Magnetic field calculation
Bx = zeros(size(x));
By = zeros(size(y));
Bz = zeros(size(z));

for i = 1:N
    r = sqrt(x.^2 + y.^2 + z.^2); % Calculate the distance from each point to the coil
    th = acos(z./r); % Calculate the angle theta
    phi = atan2(y, x); % Calculate the angle phi
    
    dBx = (-mu0 * I * a^2 * sin(th) / (2 * pi * r.^2)) .* cos(phi);
    dBy = (-mu0 * I * a^2 * sin(th) / (2 * pi * r.^2)) .* sin(phi);
    dBz = (mu0 * I * a^2 * sin(th) / (4 * pi * r.^3)) .* cos(th);
    
    Bx = Bx + dBx;
    By = By + dBy;
    Bz = Bz + dBz;
end

% Plot the magnetic field using quiver3
figure;
quiver3(x, y, z, Bx, By, Bz);
xlabel('x');
ylabel('y');
zlabel('z');

Make sure to adjust the range and step size for the meshgrid according to your problem. Additionally, you may need to define the parameters like the magnetic constant mu0, the coil radius a, etc., according to your specific coil geometry.

Please note that the above code calculates the magnetic field using the Biot-Savart law.
