Magnet Strength

I’ve been playing with a magnetometer app on my iPhone 5S – it looks like, with my finger against the phone body, I can register ~4 mT (milliteslas), against ~45 µT of background flux. That’s about the strength of a common fridge magnet!

I’d love to get my hands on some more accurate equipment and see what an empirical measurement would be.
