Abstract: A levitational magnetic field suspends a magnetic body in space and when shielded from the earth''s magnetic field, its upward pull and the pull of gravity are equal and opposite and the body is suspended. When unshielded, the electromagnet is additionally exposed to the earth''s magnetic field as well as to the levitational field and the body remains suspended. In both cases, an electrical signal dependent upon the intensity of the levitational field is produced. The difference between the value of this signal when the electromagnet is shielded and when the electromagnet is not shielded provides a measure of the intensity of the earth''s magnetic field.
