Homework Statement
Okay , i am trying to know if a compass will work alongside a pedometer , under a very weak battery. What i mean by this is that will there be a large scale interference if the compass is placed next to it. I am trying to do such since, according to my schoolwork have to produce a new idea for navigation offline . I know the presence of the magnetic waves from the battery powering the pedometer , but will this be large enough to displace the accuracy of the compass rendering it unusable? The battery that i am using is a 3v battery. The battery , compass and pedometer will all be placed in a single case. The case will then be used as an extension for the iphone , where the iphone will tabulate data from the pedometer and compass
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
At first i did research on gyroscopes. At the current rate that i am going , i do not think that creating a gyroscope at such a small level is possible
Second, i also searched on flux gate technology. However i did not understand much of this seeing that i am only taking my A-levels this year and have not even started on my electrical topics yet.
Third, i am rather interested if it is possible to produce a faraday's cage . I already understand the concepts of the faraday cage , such that it blocks out external electrostatic forces but not the Earth's ones , thus by enclosing the compass in the cage, the compass will work normally since the cage. However my main question is this : is this possible at the micro-level saying a spherical faraday cage of 5cm.From my research , the faraday cage requres a current to flow through it no? In my situation the same battery that powers the pedometer will power the cage.
Thank you , i hope that you can understand my description :D
