What is Hall effect
The Hall Effect is an important phenomenon in electromagnetism, discovered by American physicist Edwin Hall in 1879. This effect reveals the influence of magnetic fields on current carriers and is widely used in sensors, electronic devices, and scientific research. This article will combine the hot scientific and technological topics of the past 10 days to structurally analyze the principles, applications and latest research progress of the Hall effect.
1. Basic principles of Hall effect
The Hall effect means that when a current passes through a conductor or semiconductor, if a magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of the current is applied, a potential difference (Hall voltage) perpendicular to the current and magnetic field will be generated on both sides of the conductor. Its mathematical expression is:
| formula | Description |
|---|---|
| VH= (I × B) / (n × e × d) | VH: Hall voltage; I: current; B: magnetic field strength; n: carrier concentration; e: electron charge; d: material thickness |
