Abstract
The influence of the inhomogeneity of a magnetic field on measurements by the ballistical method using a cylindrical induction coil is calculated, keeping terms up to the fifth order in the linear dimensions of the coil. If the geometry of the coil is correctly chosen, the relative deviation due to the inhomogeneity is proportional to the fourth power of the linear dimensions and the fourth derivative of the component of the field in the direction of the axis of the winding. A numerical example for the field of a dipole is calculated.
