System for providing a transducer having a main coil and an additional coil separated from the main pole by a write shield

A magnetic recording head having an air-bearing surface (ABS) configured to reside in proximity to a media during use, the magnetic recording head comprising:

• a main coil having a first coil portion and a second coil portion, the first coil portion having a first plurality of turns and configured to carry a first write current in a first direction;
• a main pole having a pole tip portion proximate to the ABS, a yoke portion distal from the ABS, and a yoke length, the yoke length being less than 6 μm;
• the second coil portion having a second plurality of turns and configured to carry a second write current in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the yoke portion of the main pole residing between the first coil portion and the second coil portion;
• a write shield, the second coil portion being between the write shield and the main pole;
• and
• a third coil having a third plurality of turns and a fourth plurality of turns distal from the ABS, the third plurality of turns configured to carry a third write current in the first direction, the fourth plurality of turns carrying the third write current in the second direction, the third plurality of turns being between the ABS and the fourth plurality of turns, the write shield residing between the second coil portion and the third coil portion.
