The present invention includes a magnetic sensing structure having a stripe height and a stripe width defining an area for a current flowing therethrough, and at least one electrode positioned adjacent an edge of the magnetic sensing structure for adjustably controlling the stripe width and/or stripe height, and therefore the area (SW.times.SH), of the magnetic sensing structure through which the current can flow.
