Abstract

In this paper we present our results of the application of the magnetograph formula to synthetic Stokes V profiles in prominences. We investigate both the Zeeman and atomic-polarization signatures within the V profile and question why previous attempts to determine magnetic field strength, on average, were correct, even if the magnetograph formula does not apply in general.
