HALL EFFECT-
DETERMINATION OF
HALL COEFFICIENT
Hall Effect:
When a conductor carrying a current placed
in a transverse magnetic field, an electric field
is produced inside the conductor in a direction
normal to both the current and the magnetic
field. This phenomena is known as ‘Hall effect’
and the generated voltage is called ‘Hall
voltage’.
Hall Effect:
N- type semiconductor
Theory :
Jx = (1)
We know that a current flows in response to an
applied electric field with its direction as
conventional and it is either due to the flow of
holes in the direction of current or the movement
of electrons backward.
In both cases, under the application of magnetic
field the magnetic Lorentz force,
(1)
In steady state condition, the magnetic force
is balanced by the electric force.
Mathematically we can express it as
Eq = Bqv
For electron, q = e,
eE = evB (2)
the current 'I' can be expressed as
I = neAv
Voltage, VH = Ew = vBw =
VH =
VH=
RH=
Applications of Hall Effect:
Hall probes are often used as
magnetometers.
Hall effect devices produce a very slow
signal level. They need amplifiers.
Hall effect sensors are used to time the
speed of wheels and shafts.
For contact less measurement of DC Hall effect current
sensor with internal
sensor is used.
