Talk:Helmholtz Coils

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As stated by User:Michael_Hardy the page Helmholtz coil should be merged with Helmholtz Coils. I create the page Helmholtz Coil following a link from requested page.

I do not know now what is the correct name to use.

Helmholtz Coils is not correct that the second word is uppercase.

The rules state that singular is to be preferred unless the word is generally plural in English (like scissors).

Now in English the word coil exist in singular but only one coil in a Helmholtz coil is not enouth to make the system, so there no exit a Helmoltz coil in singular. A way of giving out of this problem would be to named the article Helmholtz coils system. But I do not like this solution. This name is never used in Physics.

For the moment I will merge Helmholtz Coils into Helmholtz coil and I will create a redirect from Helmholtz Coils to Helmholtz coil and another from Helmholtz coils to Helmholtz coil AnyFile 16:56, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
