  2. Definition The Hall effect is the production of a voltage difference (the Hall voltage) across a current carrying conductor (in presence of magnetic field), perpendicular to both current and the magnetic field.

  3. Discovery The Hall effect was discovered in 1879 by Edwin Herbert Hall while working on his doctoral degree at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

  4. Theory • A static magnetic field has no effect on a charged particle unless it is moving. • When charges flow, a mutually perpendicular force (Lorentz force) is induced on the charge. • Now electrons and holes are separated by opposite force.

  5. Theory • This produces a electric field which depends upon cross product of magnetic intensity [H] and current density [J] Eh=R(JxH) • R is called Hall Coefficient • Consider a Semiconductor bar along X-axis, Magnetic field along Z-axis. Thus Eh will be along Y-axis.

  6. Theory • Thus R=Vh/aJH=Vhb/IH • Vh is Hall Voltage and I is Jab

  7. Setup Electromagnet Gaussmeter Digital hall effect setup Hall Probe

  8. Working • Conductor is kept in a magnetic field. • Current is passed through it. • We get a reading in voltmeter kept perpendicular to the conductor.

  9. Recording Observation • After setup the Hall Voltage is measured as a function of – • Current keeping magnetic field constant. • Magnetic field keeping current constant. Hall Voltage Current

  10. Conclusions • Hall Coefficient can be determined using Rh=Vhb/IH • Hall effect can be used to determine the signs of current carrier in metals and semiconductor. • A straight graph between Hall voltage & Current and between Hall voltage & Magnetic field confirms their linear relationship. This point has important meaning as hall effect can be effectively used to determine current or magnetic field, when other is known.

  11. Precautions • Hall Voltage should be measured very carefully and accurately. • Distance between pole pieces of Electromagnet should not be changed during the whole experiment. • Current passing through semiconductor slab should be strictly within permissible limit.

  12. Applications Hall effect devices produce a very low signal level and thus require amplification. In early 20th century vacuum tube amplifiers were expensive and unreliable. But with the development of the low cost integrated circuit the Hall effect sensor became suitable for mass application.

  13. CurrentSensor • When electrons flow through a conductor, a magnetic field is produced. • Thus, it is possible to create a non-contacting current sensor. This has several advantages: • No additional resistance (a shunt) need be inserted in the primary circuit. • Also, the voltage present on the line to be sensed is not transmitted to the sensor, which enhances the safety of measuring equipment. Hall effect current sensor with internal integrated circuit amplifier.

  14. Electric Motor Control Some types of brushless DC electric motors use Hall effect sensors to detect the position of the rotor and feed that information to the motor controller. This allows for more precise motor control.

  15. Magnetometer • Smart phones like iPhone 3GS are equipped with magnetic compass. • These compass measure Earth‘s magnetic field using 3-axis magnetometer. • These magnetometer are sensors based on Hall Effect. • These sensors produce a voltage proportional to the applied magnetic field and also sense polarity.

  16. And there are many more applications of hall effect…
