Scientific paper
An instrument called a Faraday Ring Magnetometer which is particularly well suited for the measurement of small scale space plasma currents and without the inherent uncertainties of the exisiting methods is discussed. After a brief introduction of the geophysical aspects, the existing methods of space current measurement are compared with the Faraday Ring Magnetometer. The physics of the Faraday Ring Magnetometer are explained, followed by a discussion of the error and noise sources in the system. A brief account of anticipated possibilities for flying the Faraday Ring Magnetometer in space, a budget for a laboratory pilot experiment, and references are presented.
