Abstract
IN recent years simple detectors of weak magnetic fields have become available. Magnetometers using the Hall effect in indium antimonide1 or ferrite saturation2 are capable of measuring fields of a small fraction of an œrsted, and they may be used in a magnetic circuit as detectors of magnetic flux, being analogous to a galvanometer detecting current in an electric circuit.
