  • Abstract
    This paper presents the design and experimental testing of an induction coil as a magnetic field sensor with other measurement devices. The results show that the induction coil functioned as expected, giving a high sensitivity to magnetic fields at 50 Hz. Such fields emitted from power cables can be detected not only in a laboratory environment but also on a pavement.
