- Homework Statement
- My project is to use a hall sensor to measure the magnetic flux density close to a rectangular bus bar [csa 19mm x 6.4mm] carrying 300A. But first I need to estimate the magnetic field in order to choose the correct sensor.
- Relevant Equations
- H = I/2πd
An old field theory notebook has given me a formula for a long straight conductor that H = I/2πd which suggests 2.3873T at 0.2mm. Is it a reasonable approximation to use this as a basis for selecting the sensor? Any help much appreciated.
