Converting magnetic field strength into a vectorial distance.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the distance from a magnetic solenoid to a sensor tool using magnetic field strength measurements from three magnetometers. The solenoid operates at a constant current of 0.75A, and the sensor collects data on magnetic field components (Bx, By, Bz) along with inclination and azimuth readings. The user seeks assistance in deriving the formula for converting these measurements into vectorial distance in both north/south and east/west directions. There is a suggestion for the user to include their attempts at a solution and relevant equations to facilitate better responses. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexity of the calculations involved in this magnetic field analysis.

Hey guys,
I trying to work out this formula for work. We have a magnetic solenoid that is suspended a certain distance from a sensor tool. This sensor has 3 magnetometers that measure the field strength in Bx,By,Bz directions. The magnetic solenoid is run with a constant current of 0.75A. We have software that will take these values, along with the Ax,Ay,Az, Inclination and Azimuth readings and tell us the distance in N/S and E/W. eg: 10m N, 5m W.

I need to work out how this is calculated and was hoping someone here could be of assistance.
Cheers.

anyone? maybe even just rough idea. I been trawling through the maths for 2 days now n can't seem to get anywhere.
 
hmm, well that's not very helpful is it. :\
 
The forum is usually pretty helpful, but you should include a attempt at your solution and relevant equations also. You'll be more likely to get a response.
 
Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
