A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetic field () or magnetic dipole moment. Different types of magnetometers measure the direction, strength, or relative change of the magnetic -field at a particular location. A compass is one such device, one that measures the direction of an ambient magnetic field, in this case, the Earth's magnetic field. Other magnetometers measure the magnetic dipole moment of a magnetic material such as a ferromagnet, for example by recording the effect of this magnetic dipole on the induced current in a coil.
