Abstract
A new method for measuring electric field strength is proposed. The method is based on the mean value measurement method, which uses a dual electroinduction spherical sensor. The use of the dual sensor for the method implementation allows to extend the functionality of the method by mean value. The method of measurement by the mean value assumes simultaneous measurement of two values of intensity E1 and E2 in one point of electric field with opposite sign errors. As the theory of construction of the new method has shown, it is possible to determine not only the measurement result as an average of two values of the strengths, but also to estimate the error of the measurement result and tentatively determine the distance to the field source. In order to determine the distance to the field source, a coefficient of the ratio of the two found strengths at each point of the field is introduced, by which the empirical dependence of the relative distance to the field source is found. The relative distance is the ratio between the radius of the spherical sensor and the distance to the field source. By determining the relative distance at each measuring point according to this relationship and substituting it into the known expression for the error, the error of the result at the measuring point is determined. The relative distance is also used to determine the distance to the field source. Thus, the new method of measurement allows to increase the accuracy of measurement of electric field strength, determined by the relative distance to the source of the field.
