Abstract
Element comprising a substrate (101) having a layer structure (103) bounded by two parallel main faces (105a, 105b) with at least two layers of mutually different magnetical behavior. The layer structure has a zone (109) which, viewed in a direction parallel to the main faces, extends between spaced electric connection areas (107a, 107b). A current-directing means is present in this zone for producing, during current passage, a current component (c.sub.p) directed transversely to the layer structure, which means comprises at least one electric conductor (111a, 111b) on at least one of the main faces.
