And this is used in HV measuring equipment.. send polarized light 
through an appropriate crystal with the conductor next to it, and the 
amount of rotation is proportional to current.

Or, in fast shutters. Crossed polarizers, coil around crystal, etc.

The Faraday cage is more an example of Gauss's law.
