Hall effect is a process in which a transverse electric field is developed in a solid material when the material carrying an electric current is placed in a magnetic field that is perpendicular to the current. The Hall effect was discovered by Edwin Herbert Hall in 1879.
The Hall effect is the production of a potential difference (the Hall voltage) across an electrical conductor that is transverse to an electric current in the conductor and to an applied magnetic field perpendicular to the current. It was discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879. [1] [2]
1 day ago · The Hall effect occurs when a magnetic field is applied at a right angle to an electric current flowing through a conductor. As a result, a voltage is created across the conductor, perpendicular to both the electric current and the magnetic field.
Jul 5, 2024 · Hall effect, development of a transverse electric field in a solid material when it carries an electric current and is placed in a magnetic field that is perpendicular to the current. This phenomenon was discovered in 1879 by the U.S. physicist Edwin Herbert Hall.
Jul 9, 2024 · We investigate the Hall effect by studying the motion of the free electrons along a metallic strip of width l in a constant magnetic field (Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)). The electrons are moving from left to right, so the magnetic force they experience pushes them to the bottom edge of the strip.
May 26, 2024 · The Hall effect is a phenomenon in physics that occurs when a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the flow of current in a conductor or semiconductor. This results in the development of a transverse voltage, known as the Hall voltage, across the material.
Feb 20, 2022 · The Hall effect is the creation of voltage \(\varepsilon\), known as the Hall emf, across a current-carrying conductor by a magnetic field. The Hall emf is given by \[\varepsilon = Blv\nonumber\] with \(B\), \(v\), and \(l\) all mutually perpendicular for a conductor of width \(l\) through which charges move at a speed \(v\).
