Abstract
Abstract A superconducting coil is disclosed. A plurality of coils made of oxide superconducting materials are formed on the respective surfaces of substrates, and the adjacent coils mounted on the substrates are connected by conductors to form one coil. Since the coil consists mainly of oxide superconductor, liquid nitrogen can be used to cool at a temperature less than Tc the coil which is energized in order to generate a magnetic field. Therefore it costs less to generate a magnetic field by the coil than by the conventional coils made of metallic superconductors. In addition, the coil is mechanically strong.
