What is the function of horseshoe magnet in physics?

It is used to create a uniform field between the poles of the magnet at the ends. These magnets are widely used in experiments to see what happens when a current carrying wire is placed in a magnetic field and moved around. A simple horseshoe magnet isn’t practically useful in like generating electricity, but its strenght can be amplified by joining two magnets to form a radial field. The same effect, i.e creating a uniform field can be brought about by using two flat and wide magnets parallely.
