What is a Magnetometer

A magnetic field is the area around a magnet, magnetic object, or an electric charge in which magnetic force is exerted. Earth behaves like a giant magnet.

The two primary characteristics of magnetic fields are their strength (referred to as magnetic flux density or magnetic induction) and direction.

A magnetometer is a device that measures the magnetic field at a point where it is.

Types of Magnetometers

  • Scalar Magnetometers
    Measure only the strength of the magnetic field.
  • Vector Magnetometers
    Measure both the strength and direction of the magnetic field.
