CI. A method for the mapping of vector potential distributions in axially symmetrical systems

Summary The magnetic vector potential distribution in axially symmetrical systems containing current carrying conductors and iron of arbitrary shape can be obtained experimentally with good accuracy using resistor networks. Two networks are possible, one for plotting the flux function rA ϑ and one for plotting the vector potential A ϑ itself. The latter one is a modification of a field plotting network described previously. Some confirming measurements on a model of an infinitely long coil were carried out.
