Home > Dipole magnet

A dipole magnet, in particle accelerators, is a magnet constructed to create a homogeneous magnetic field over some distance. Particle motion in that field will be circular in a plane perpendicular to the field and collinear to the direction of particle motion and free in the direction orthogonal to it.

Thus, a particle injected into a dipole magnet will travel on a circular or helical trajectory.

In particle accelerators, dipole magnets are used to realize bends in the design trajectory (or 'orbit') of the particles, as in circular accelerators. Other uses include injection/ejection of particles and the correction of orbit errors.

DipoleThis article is about the electromagnetic phenomenon. From the point of view of the mathematics of distributions, a dipole can be taken to be the directional derivative of a Dirac delta function. A dipole is also a type of radio antenna A dipole is a pair

Dipole antennaA dipole antenna is an antenna with two driven elements. These antennas are the simplest antennas from a theoretical point of view, though the whip antenna (with only one driven element it is driven against earth)is probably the most common and simplest-l
