We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

When you plot the the farfield on a plane, the resolution tells us how many points in the plane the fields are calculated at. The more the resolution, the more is the number of points in the farfield plane. For example, my resolution was 501, so my grid in the farfield is 501x501.

Is it similar to changing the resolution in farfield settings window?

That is correct! It is the same thing.

And 201 is enough to get a clearer plot or do i need to increase to more higher values?

I think it's upto you. If you don't see significant changes in the plot after a certain resolution (and you see the expected result), then there is no need to increase the resolution further as it is just going to increase the calculation time.
