Magnetometer
An alternating current passes through the two primary coils; symmetrical voltage pulses are then
generated in the secondary coil each time the AC current changes direction. However, if an
external magnetic field exists, it can distort the voltage pulses in the secondary coil. The
magnetometer reacts by supplying a buckling current through the second coil to drive the voltage
pulses back to their symmetric state. The magnitude of the buckling current is proportional to the
earths magnetic field strength and aligned to the axis of the magnetometers.

Basics : Inclination
An inclination of 0 is a vertical
hole and 90is a horizontal hole.
The earths field is similar to the field generated around a very large bar magnet as
if it were located at the center of the earth.
