A flux loop is a loop of wire placed inside a plasma at a right angle. Changes in the field create a current in the loop, which may be interpreted to measure the properties of the plasma. Flux loops are key diagnostics in fusion power research.

Flux loops are key diagnostics in fusion power research. \text{voltage(Time) }= \text{Number of Loops}* \text{Area} * \frac{d\ \text{Magnetic Field(time)}}{d\ \text{time}} Typically, you need to integrate the signal over a period of time to get the magnetic field at that instant (not just the change in magnetic fields). This is normally done by adding an integrator circuit which will passively integrate the electrical signal. \text{voltage} =\frac{\text{Number of Loops}*\text {Area} *\text{Magnetic Field}}{\text{resistance}*\text{capacitance}}
