How do flux meters work ??
On what basis they measure the strength of field
please share the link (Urgently required)

A flux meter is a scientific instrument used to measure the total magnetic flux passing through a given area. It works by detecting changes in the magnetic field and converting them into an electrical signal, which can then be measured. The strength of the magnetic field is proportional to the amount of flux passing through the area, so the flux meter provides a way to measure the field strength.
The units of measurement for magnetic flux are webers (Wb), which is equivalent to one tesla (T) multiplied by one square meter (m²). The units of measurement for magnetic field strength are tesla (T) or gauss (G), which is equivalent to one newton (N) per ampere (A) per meter (m).
A flux meter measures the total magnetic flux passing through an area, while a Gaussmeter measures the strength of a magnetic field at a specific point. Flux meters are used to measure the overall strength of a magnetic field, while Gaussmeters are used for more precise measurements at specific locations.
Flux meters can be used to measure the magnetic flux and field strength of a wide range of materials, including metals, magnets, and even living organisms. Some materials, such as ferromagnetic materials like iron and nickel, will have a stronger magnetic field and thus produce a larger flux reading than non-magnetic materials.
While flux meters are a valuable tool for measuring magnetic fields, they do have some limitations. They may not work well in environments with high levels of electrical noise, and they may not be able to measure fields that are too weak or too strong. Additionally, the shape and size of the area being measured can also affect the accuracy of the flux meter's readings.
