Measure Magnetic Field Frequency - Handheld Meters

AI Thread Summary
To measure the frequency of a magnetic field, handheld meters typically only detect frequencies in the MHz range, which may not be suitable for lower frequencies like 1 Hz or 10 Hz. Users are questioning the effectiveness of these meters for oscillating magnetic fields and the expected frequency ranges. An alternative method suggested is using an oscilloscope or frequency counter with an inductor as a pickup probe to capture lower frequency magnetic fields. Understanding the limitations of available handheld meters is crucial for accurate measurements. Proper tools and techniques are essential for effectively measuring magnetic field frequencies.

Does anyone know how to measure the frequency of a magnetic field? They sell handheld meters but they only measure Mhz and higher

Frequency of what? An oscillating magnetic field? Which frequency range do you expect? 1 Hz, 10Hz, ..., 1MHz?

Do you have access to an oscilloscope or frequency counter? If so, you may be able to just use an inductor as a pickup probe for the magnetic field.
 

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
