Measuring Frequency of an EMF with Gaussmeter: An Inquiry

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on measuring the frequency of an electromagnetic field (EMF) generated by two series-connected coils excited with 15 V AC. The measured EMF was 200 µT using a gaussmeter. It was established that the frequency of the generated electromagnetic field is directly related to the frequency of the AC source, following the equation ffield = fAC source. Therefore, if the AC source operates at 60 Hz, the frequency of the magnetic field will also be 60 Hz.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic fields and their properties
  • Familiarity with AC voltage concepts
  • Knowledge of gaussmeter usage and measurement techniques
  • Basic grasp of frequency and its relation to alternating current
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of electromagnetic induction

Hello,
I got two series connected coils which I exited with 15 V AC. I got EMF between the space in the field and I measured it with gaussmeter saying 200 µT. I want to know the freqency of that generated electromagnetic field? Does anyone know how to do it? Is there any Equation for it?
Thanks,
Mit

Hi MIT. ##\quad## How about ##\ f_{\rm field} = f_{\rm AC\ source}\ ## ?
 
The frequency which the B field changes its direction is the same frequency which the Voltage alternates. If you had a 60hz Vac, the B field would follow also this frequency.
