WHAT IS HALL EFFECT
Hall Effect
If an electric current flows through a conductor in a magnetic field, the
magnetic field exerts a transverse force on the moving charge carriers which
tends to push them to one side of the conductor. This is most evident in a
thin flat conductor as illustrated. A buildup of charge at the sides of the
conductors will balance this magnetic influence, producing a measurable
voltage between the two sides of the conductor. The presence of this
measurable transverse voltage is called the Hall effect after E. H. Hall who
discovered it in 1879.
Note that the direction of the current I in the diagram is that of
conventional current, so that the motion of electrons is in the opposite
direction. That further confuses all the "right-hand rule" manipulations
The Hall voltage is given by
2.HALL VOLTAGE FOR POSITIVE CHARGE CARRIERS
The transverse voltage (Hall effect) measured in a Hall probe has its
1. When magnet #1 gets close to the Hall IC, the sensor sends a signal to the
base of the power transistor. The transistor opens, and allows a bigger
collector current to flow through the electromagnet. The electromagnet
pushes magnet #3 away.
When the rotor spins away, magnet #1 stops affecting the Hall IC. Since the signal to the
base of the power transistor has been removed, it is turned off. This disables the
electromagnet.
The rotor continues to spin due to inertia until magnet #2 moves into the working range of
the Hall IC. The Hall IC sends a signal to the base of the transistor. The transistor opens,
and allows a bigger collector current to flow through the electromagnet. The electromagnet
pushes magnet #4 away. This process continues until the power is disconnected.
