A Method for Measuring the Electric Field Strength, which Permits Determining the Error from the Inhomogeneity of the Field and the Distance to Its Source

Abstract

A new method for measuring the electric field strength using a dual sensor is considered. The method allows one to measure not only the value of the electric field strength, but also to determine its error and the distance from the center of the sensor to the field source. The operability of the method is confirmed by numerical experiment. The experiment showed that the deviation of the error calculated from the theoretical and empirical values obtained in the numerical experiment does not exceed 5% on average, and the deviation of the theoretical distance from the distance obtained empirically in the numerical experiment does not exceed 6%. The possibility of using the method to additionally determine the error and the distance to the field source is considered for the first time.
