Magnectic Sensor

[ultimatekiller]

Can a magnectic sensor senses a perimeter wire which is in a close loop circuit?? ???

Hi u

from what I understand, a magnetic sensor actually senses current, therefore if your closed loop circuit is driven by a voltage then it should be possible to detect that current using a combination of X, Y and Z coils to determine an exact position,  it depends also on how far away you expect to detect the wire, is it a few cm? or 30-40m?

Hope that helps

Hi u,

A book: “Engineer's Mini-Notebook Magnet and Magnet Sensor Projects” can be found here: http://www.electronics-lab.com/forum/index.php?topic=5379.84

I hope you will find an answer in this book!  ;D
