Claim Text:
1. A sensor for determining a property of a magnetic field, the sensor comprising: a substrate; a beam suspended from the substrate; and a plurality of conductive lines arranged on the beam, wherein the plurality of conductive lines are arranged at least substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the beam, wherein the substrate comprises a first edge portion and a second edge portion, the first edge portion and the second edge portion arranged adjacent opposite sides of the beam, wherein the plurality of conductive lines form part of a continuous line arrangement, the continuous line arrangement being wound around the beam, the first edge portion and the second edge portion such that the plurality of conductive lines are connected to each other in series to conduct a same current in series through the plurality of conductive lines, wherein the beam is adapted to be displaced in response to the same current flowing through the plurality of conductive lines, and a magnetic field interacting with the beam, and wherein the sensor is configured to determine the property of the magnetic field based on the displacement of the beam.
