CONT

Les magnétomètres à précession [sont des] instruments de mesure du [magnétisme rémanent] des roches [...] Cette technique consiste à faire tourner à l'aide d'un rotor le spécimen en face d'une ou de deux bobines. Comme on veut connaître l'intensité et la direction de magnétisation, en mesurant l'intensité suivant les 3 axes, il faut obtenir un voltage de référence du rotor.
