A secondary coil circuit for use with a multi-section protected superconductive
magnet coil circuit is disclosed herein. The secondary coil circuit includes two
circuit nodes, a ramping switch electrically connected between the two circuit
nodes, and a number of secondary coils electrically connected between the two circuit
nodes. The secondary coils are made of wire having substantially superconductive
capability when cooled below a characteristic critical temperature level and conducting
electric current below a characteristic critical current level. The secondary coils
are sized and positioned relative to the superconductive magnet coils situated
in the individual sections of the multi-section protected superconductive magnet
coil circuit so as to functionally cooperate with the multi-section protected superconductive
magnet coil circuit in producing and maintaining a magnetic field that is substantially
homogeneous. In one embodiment, the secondary coil circuit is inductively decoupled
from each individual section of the multi-section protected superconductive magnet
coil circuit.
