This paper analyzes different types of coil systems to produce volumes of uniform magnetic field. Some types of coil system are presented in this paper such as Helmholtz, Merritt, and Ruben coil systems. In the study coil systems are intended to produce a magnetic flux density of 2µT in the center of the coil. The calculation of the magnetic flux density is done with COMSOL using analytical formulas and finite element simulations are compared. Finally, a cube volume of uniform magnetic field in each coil is calculated.
