Abstract
The magnetic field in the vicinity of a conductor can be sensed by wire loops to measure the current in the nearby conductor. A sensor in a printed circuit board can detect and measure currents flowing through the PCB itself, yielding a thin, inexpensive, scalable solution for energy monitoring.
