The quality factor is ωL 2πf L Q= = (2) R RIt is therefore important to keep the inductance L high enough. n2 a2 L= (3) 23a + 25bwhere a is the coil diameter (cm), b the length (cm) and n the number of turns.The coil used in this system is a two-layer 60 turn coil which tightly encloses thesample volume in order to minimize
system provides another means for the students to askquestions and share ideas and problems many of which may not have been expressed due to thegeneral student-professor comfort levels. The PAL system is a good educational method toincorporate into a laboratory setting and greatly facilitated the learning process.Bibliography1.
