Construction of a Simple Low-Cost Teslameter and Its Use with Arduino and MakerPlot Software
Atkin, Keith
Physics Education, v51 n2 Article 024001 Mar 2016
This paper shows how it is possible to construct a very simple device for the measurement of magnetic flux densities in an educational context. It is also shown how such a device can be interfaced to a microcontroller with plotting-software to facilitate the study of magnetic fields produced by a current-carrying coil.
