3 Fundamentals
Electromagnetic pollution
This meter is used to indicate electromagnetic
pollution generated artificially. Wherever there
is a voltage or a current, electric (E) and
magnetic (H) fields arise. All types of radio
broadcasting and TV transmitters produce
electromagnetic fields, and they also arise in
industry, business and the home, where they
affect us even if our sense organs perceive
nothing.
4 Electric field strength (E)
A field vector quantity that represents the force
(F) on an infinitesimal unit positive
test charge (q) at a point divided by that charge.
Electric field strength is expressed in units of
volts per meter (mV/m). This meter measures
electric field strength directly.
4.1 Magnetic field strength (H)
A field vector that is equal to the magnetic flux
density divided by the permeability of the
medium Magnetic field strength is expressed in
units of amperes per meter
(A/m). In far field situations, one can
