- : Electricity. an instrument for measuring inductance, consisting essentially of an inductor with two or more coils whose relative position may be changed to vary the inductance.

Examples
The rotor of a variometer or variocoupler is a rotating coil.
Another way to make a variable inductance is to make what is called a “variometer.”
But, anyway, weve made enough to know the difference between a variometer and a condenser.
A new type of variometer has what is known as a basket weave, or wavy wound stator and rotor.
To be really efficient a variometer must have a small resistance and a large inductance as well as a small dielectric loss.
