[L.] A bar magnet suspended horizontally by two threads of equal length, and so adjusted that each supports half the weight, is the essential part of a Bifilar magnetometer or Bifilar; when the bar turns, the threads becoming inclined to the vertical, it must rise, and thus the magnetic force is compared with the weight of the magnet.
