Množina: Hall effects

The measurement of the transverse voltage across a conductor when placed in a magnetic field. By this measurement, it is possible to determine the type, concentration, and mobility of carriers in silicon.
Production of a voltage across a conductor or semiconductor carrying a current at a right angle to a surrounding magnetic field. It was discovered 1897 by the US physicist Edwin Hall (1855–1938). It is used in the Hall probe for measuring the strengths of magnetic fields and in magnetic switches.
