Precision absolute measurements of strong and highly inhomogeneous magnetic fields
Abstract:
The low-temperature ([similar or less than]4 K) dependence of the photoconductance in n-type silicon on the conduction electron and bound donor electron spin state serves as the basis of a high-precision, wide-range magnetic field measuring probe, which by virtue of its very small dimensions is well suited for spatial mapping of highly inhomogeneous fields produced by superconducting magnets. The probe may also be adapted to power and frequency measurement of microwave sources operating at approximately mW power levels and frequencies up to approximately 500 GHz.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
