Opposite the free face of the winding, is placed a plane metal plate 102, which is movable perpendicularly to its plane and along the core axis. The induction flux of winding 101 closes through plate 102. Any change in the position of this plate will cause a variation of the air-gap and consequently, of the reluctance of the magnetic circuit and thus of the impedance of coil 101.
