We have chosen a circular path to depict the magnetic field manipulability in a plane using VORIACS. (a) A circular trajectory with 360 points. At each point, the desired force and field directions are tangential to the circle (b) Comparison between sum of absolute coil currents between the VORIACS and a corresponding four coil system with small, medium, and large coils considered as a single unit. (c) Depiction of required absolute coil currents (if the small, medium, and large coils on each side were powered as a single unit) to generate 4 mN force and 1 mT field in the tangential direction at each point on the circular trajectory. (d) Depiction of required absolute coil currents (for the VORIACS) to generate 4 mN force and 1 mT field in the tangential direction to the circle at each point on the circular trajectory. The plot depicts how the required coil currents at each point on the trajectory are well within the bounds of 33 A per coil.
