Magnetic field measurement

Magnetic field measurement involves detecting and quantifying the influence of magnetic forces around objects, typically using sensitive instruments called magnetometers. These devices can measure the strength and direction of magnetic fields, which are invisible fields generated by magnetic materials or moving electric charges. By analyzing these measurements, scientists and engineers can understand the magnetic properties of materials, detect underground structures, or navigate using Earth's magnetic field. Accurate magnetic field measurement requires calibration, proper placement of sensors, and compensation for environmental influences to ensure reliable data collection.
