Abstract

A surface current probe includes two current detection coils disposed so as to detect a magnetic field in a direction vertical to an current detection target plane; two disturbance-control coils, each thereof being disposed at a position farther away from each of the two current detection coils, against the current detection target plane, so as to be disposed for detection of a magnetic field in a direction parallel to the current detection target plane; and a terminal resistor coupled to each of the two disturbance-control coils. The two disturbance-control coils are disposed such that induced voltages generated against the current detection target plane at the time of detection of a magnetic field on the outer side of the two current detection coils are opposed in polarity to each other.
