Magnetometers

About Magnetometers

Magnetometers are scientific instruments that measure the strength and/or direction of a magnetic field. Magnetism describes how, on a microscopic level, materials respond to an applied magnetic field. These magnetic fields surround magnetic materials and are detected by the force they exert on other magnetic materials and moving electric charges. Types of magnetism include ferromagnetism, ferrimagnetism, antiferromagnetism, paramagnetism, and diamagnetism. Typically, magnetometers measure a magnetic field or flux density in metric units of gauss (G) or the international system (IS) unit of a tesla (T).

There are two basic types of magnetometers: scalar and vector. Scalar magnetometers are used to measure the total strength of a magnetic field. Planar magnetometers are used to measure a component of a magnetic field in a particular direction. Both types of scientific instruments use many different technologies. Search coil magnetometers, magnetometer arrays, magnetometer networks, and magnetic anomaly detectors are also available.
