Abstract
In the joule balance developed at National Institute of Metrology, the dynamic phase of a watt balance is replaced by the mutual inductance measurement in an attempt to provide an alternative method for the kilogram redefinition. However, for this method a rather large current in the exciting coil, is needed to offer the necessary magnetic field in the force weighing phase, and the coil heating becomes an important uncertainty source. To reduce coil heating, a new coil system, in which a ferromagnetic material is used to increase the magnetic field was designed recently. However, adopting the ferromagnetic material brings the difficulty from the nonlinear characteristic of material. This problem can be removed by measuring the magnetic flux linkage difference of the suspended coil at two vertical positions directly to replace the mutual inductance parameter. Some systematic effects of this magnet are discussed.
