<p>An angle sensor comprising a housing ( 1 ) having horizontal and vertical axes, which housing is adapted to receive a magnetic core ( 5 ) such that the core remains in substantially the same plane, e.g. by floating on a liquid ( 4 ). The core is provided with two orthogonal windings ( 8,18 ). In use, an electric field is applied across the vertical axis of the housing, which electric field induces a voltage in the windings, wherein the magnitude of the induced field is dependent on the angle of the magnetic core to the horizontal winding.</p> |
