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

A handheld meter for measuring magnetic field frequency is a portable device that can detect and measure the strength and frequency of magnetic fields. It typically consists of a sensor or probe that is placed near the magnetic field and a display screen that shows the readings.
Measuring magnetic field frequency is important for various reasons. It can help in detecting and analyzing electromagnetic interference, assessing the safety of electrical equipment, and monitoring changes in the Earth's magnetic field. It is also crucial in research and development of new technologies that involve magnetic fields.
A handheld meter uses a sensor or probe that can detect changes in magnetic fields and convert them into electrical signals. These signals are then processed and displayed as measurements of frequency and strength on the device's screen.
The units used to measure magnetic field frequency are Hertz (Hz) or kilohertz (kHz). Hertz is the standard unit for frequency, and kilohertz is commonly used for higher frequencies.
Yes, handheld meters for measuring magnetic field frequency are generally accurate. However, the accuracy may vary depending on the quality and calibration of the device. It is important to calibrate the meter regularly and use it according to the manufacturer's instructions for accurate readings.
