3.4.1 Induction Coils<br />

For an induction coil to detect a magnetic field, the magnetic field must be<br />

alternating or pulsating, or the coil must be moved through the magnetic field<br />

at a reasonable rate of speed. Various absolute and differential surface and<br />

encircling coil arrangements are illustrated in Figures 3.16 through 3.19.<br />

Figure 3.20 illustrates the design and coil arrangement of a differential-type<br />

inside or annular coil.<br />

Some coil parameters that would affect the coil’s ability to pick up or detect<br />

small leakage flux fields are:<br />

• Coil diameter<br />

• Coil length<br />

• Number of turns of wire<br />

• Permeability of core material<br />

• Coil orientation<br />
