Magnetometer Carl Friedrich Gauss, head of the Geomagnetic Observatory in Göttingen, published a paper on measurement of the Earth's magnetic field. It described a new instrument that consisted of a permanent bar magnet suspended horizontally from a gold fibre. The difference in the oscillations when the bar was magnetised and when it was demagnetised allowed Gauss to calculate an absolute value for the strength of the Earth's magnetic field. The gauss, the CGS unit of magnetic flux density was named in his honour, defined as one maxwell per square centimeter; it equals 1×10 tesla (the SI unit). Francis Ronalds and Charles
Flux loop integrate the signal over a period of time to get the magnetic field at that instant (not just the change in magnetic fields). This is normally done by adding a integrator circuit which will passively integrate the electrical signal. The flux loop is common on tokamaks, magnetic mirrors, Field-reversed configurations, the Levitated dipole experiment and the polywell. In tokamaks a set of loops is used, and these are spaced slightly off-center and non-concentrically. Placing the loops intentionally asymmetrically allows the users to find the magnetic field density at different points inside the tokamak. The distance between the loops was determined
