magnetic sensor technology

Magnetic sensor technology detects magnetic fields generated by objects or changes in the environment. These sensors can measure the strength and direction of magnetic fields, allowing them to identify the presence, position, or movement of magnetic or ferromagnetic materials nearby. Common types include Hall-effect sensors, which generate a voltage in response to magnetic fields, and magnetoresistive sensors, which change their resistance when exposed to magnetic flux. They are widely used in navigation, automotive systems, electronic compasses, and various industrial applications for precise position sensing and environmental monitoring.
