Abstract
A sensor element, in particular for determining an angle of rotation, has a detection medium whose position varies as a function of a change in a parameter to be measured, where the change in the position of the detection medium leads to a change in an analyzable signal of the sensor element which is influenced by the detection medium. The detection medium has at least one conductor loop carrying current which is exposed to an external magnetic field; the detection medium is rotationally movably mounted so that a rotational motion of the sensor element about an angle of rotation in the plane of the magnetic field is converted into a deflection of the detection medium perpendicular to the magnetic field.
