Hall effect sensor. Apparatus being used to demonstrate the electromagnetic Hall effect. A hall probe,powered by the box at left,is held between the poles of a magnet (U-shaped). The probe consists of an electric current-carrying conductor. The magnetic field exerts a force on the electrons making up the main electric current. This force makes the electrons drift and this is detected as a small electric current. A voltmeter (top) detects the Hall voltage of this induced current. The effect is strongest when the main current is aligned at right angles to the magnetic field | |
