Measuring magnetic field strength

Using direct force on an electromagnet for measuring magnetic field strength.
Measuring magnetic field strength by direct force measurements

Here is my attempt at measuring magnetic field strength. To measure the field generated by the electromagnet above I made a coil that could be placed in the magnetic field.

Magnetic field meter (Gaussmeter)

Magnetic field meter (gauss meter)

This is a magnetic field meter or Gaussmeter which uses a UGN3503 Hall effect device to drive a meter. It shows the magnetic field sensor reading the strength (in Tesla’s) of a small horseshoe magnet. The meter is not yet calibrated so the reading is not correct.
