Induction Magnetometer

An induction magnetometer is a device used to measure magnetic fields, such as Earth's magnetism or magnetic activity from objects. It works by detecting changes in magnetic flux through a coil when exposed to a magnetic field. These changes induce an electric current in the coil, which is then measured. The strength and direction of the magnetic field influence the amount of induced current, allowing precise assessment of magnetic variations. Induction magnetometers are commonly used in geophysical surveys, navigation, and scientific research to monitor magnetic phenomena accurately.
