Abstract
A method for the measurement of time-variable magnetic fields from the ZEEMAN effect of timevariable line emission is described. This method is independent of the special line profile and of time variations in intensity, line profile and line shift. The sensitivity of the method and the accuracy of the measurement are discussed. Test measurements were made in a nitrogen discharge with an external homogeneous magnetic field having 130 kc/sec frequency. — The measurement of inhomogeneous fields from spatial inhomogeneous line emission gives a mean value of the field which depends on the spatial distribution of the line emission. Nevertheless, measurements made on a little fast Θ-pinch with a N II line, which was emitted from the hot plasma, were reproduceable.
