~ Discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879

~ Described as the generation of voltage across a conductor when current is applied in the presence of a magnetic field perpendicular to the conductor

~ Hall Voltage: The voltage generated across the conductor due to the Hall Effect

~ Hall Coefficient: The proportionality constant between the Hall voltage and the magnetic field and current density

1.Hall Voltage (VH): The Hall voltage is the voltage difference measured across the width of the conductor due to the Hall effect. It can be calculated using the following formula: VH = B * I * RH where VH is the Hall voltage, B is the magnetic field strength, I is the current flowing through the conductor, and RH is the Hall coefficient

2.Hall Coefficient (RH): The Hall coefficient is a material-specific constant that relates the Hall voltage to the magnetic field and current. It can be determined using the formula: RH = VH / (B * I) where RH is the Hall coefficient, VH is the Hall voltage, B is the magnetic field strength, and I is the current flowing through the conductor.
