The effects of iron on the uniformity of the field produced by a current-carrying axisymmetric conductor are considered. Using a perturbation analysis a simple analytic expression is obtained which describes the field close to the axis of symmetry. A Fourier series approach is also used to provide an analytical solution to the problem and the accuracy of the perturbation method is estimated by comparing results.
