DEFINITION

Classification: 324/257

Moving coil magnetometer:

(under subclass 244) Subject matter wherein the apparatus to sense a magnetic field is a movable magnetic field sensing coil placed within the field to be tested and has means to move the movable coil, and the apparatus to indicate the sensing of the magnetic field is connected to the sensing coil whereby the coil moving in the tested field has induced therein a voltage proportional to the number of turns of the coil and the time it takes for the moving coil to complete a cycle of movement.

(1) Note. The sensing coil may or may not have a ferromagnetic core.

(2) Note. The movement may be rotary, vibrator, or translatory.

(3) Note. A single conductor sensing a magnetic field connected to an indicator is included in the subject matter of this subclass type.
