Product Summary
Measure radial and axial fields simultaneously. Dynamic variable over-sampling greatly reduces noise at low sample rates.
Applications
- Measure Earth’s magnetic field.
- Measure magnetic field (magnitude and direction from a coil or a bar magnet).
How It Works
Use the PASPORT 2-Axis Magnetic Field Sensor in conjunction with a PASPORT interface to measure magnetic field strength simultaneously along two perpendicular axes.
The sensing elements are two Hall Effect devices oriented perpendicularly to one another and located at the end of the sensor’s probe. The sensor measures the magnetic field in the Axial and Perpendicular directions. Two white dots on the probe mark the positions of the sensing elements.
What's Included
- 1x Sensor handle
- 1x Sensor extension cable

Magnetic Field Strength
In this lab, students use a 2-axis magnetic field sensor and the AC/DC electronics laboratory to determine how the strength of the magnetic field at the center of a current-carrying coil depends on the coil current and radius.
Electromagnetic Induction
In this lab, students will use an induction wand, rotary motion sensor, variable gap magnet, and magnetic field sensor to determine how the rate of change of magnetic flux through a coil affects the magnitude and direction of...
Induction: Magnet through a Coil
Examine Faraday's Law of Induction: A magnet is dropped through a coil and the voltage across the coil graphed as a function of time. The total integrated flux as the magnet moves into the coil will be compared to the flux as...
Earth's Magnetic Field
The magnitude and direction of the Earth's magnetic field are measured using a Magnetic Field Sensor mounted on a Rotary Motion Sensor.
Magnetic Field in a Current Carrying Coil
The radial and axial magnetic fields of a current carrying coil are plotted versus position as the Magnetic Field Sensor is passed through the coil. The experimental results are compared to the theoretical model.
Electromagnetic Fields
Measure the electromagnetic field strength of two coils with different radii and number of coil windings as the current flowing through the coils is varied. Then use the magnetic field strength and current data to determine an...
