METHOD FOR MEASURING THE ELECTRIC FIELD STRENGTH WITH DETERMINING THE ERROR OF THE MEASUREMENT RESULT AND THE DISTANCE TO THE FIELD SOURCE

Electric fields of a technogenic nature, surrounding technical and biological objects have adverse effects on them. This leads to the need to control and measure the parameters of electric fields. In this regard, the creation of new methods and means for measuring the electric field strength of a technogenic nature is an urgent task. The paper considers a method for measuring the electric field strength, that allows not only measuring the value of the field strength, but also determining its error from the measured values and estimating the distance to the field source. The method is based on a dual electric induction spherical electric field strength sensor. The sensor allows you to simultaneously measure two strength values at the same point of the field, with errors of opposite signs. The use of two intensity values in the method during one measurement session made it possible to determine the error at each measurement point and the distance to the field source. The possibility of using the method of measuring the electric field strength to determine the error of the measurement result and the distance to the field source at each point of the field is considered for the first time.
