Magnetic gauge in which two electrical coils are positioned to form a V between them such that their axes intersect at a point intermediate and exterior of the coils. A permanent magnet is rotatable on a shaft which carries a pointer. The permanent magnet extends partially into each of the V-positioned coils and the vector resultant of the magnetic fields produced by currents in the coils determines the position of the rotatable magnet and the pointer carried by the shaft. A fixed resistor may be connected in series with one of the coils and a variable resistance may be connected in series with the other coil. A change in the variable resistance alters the current magnitude in its serially connected electrical coil.
