\section*{Appendix: Helmholtz coils}
-The term Helmholtz coils refers to a device for producing a region of nearly uniform magnetic field. It is named in honor of the German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz. A Helmholtz pair consists of two identical coils with electrical current running in the same direction that are placed symmetrically along a common axis, and separated by a distance equal to the radius of the coil $a$. The magnetic field in the central region may be calculated using the Bio-Savart law:
