A coil of insulated wire surrounds a low reluctance core. A combination of low reluctance and high reluctance materials positioned adjacent said coil: (1) control the spatial extent of the magnetic flux and, (2) concentrate the total reluctance of the magnetic circuit of the exciting coil into a volume of controlled size and shape within the material being tested. The magnetic flux is controlled, and the reluctance is concentrated, in such a manner as to optimize the sensitivity of the eddy-current generator to variations in the material being tested; at the same time, the coil impedance is maintained at a value which is optimum for the performance of any selected precision electrical impedance measuring device.
