Various resistances change according to the direction of

the combnied bias and external magnetic field.

¡) When the direction of the synthetic magnetic field is (a),

¡¡) When the direction of the synthetic magnetic field is (b),

The ferromagnetic magnetoresistance element differs

from the semiconductor magnetoresistance element and

hole element in that it responds only to the magnetic

field within the element's surface. It is not sensitive to

the magnetic field perpendicular to the element.
