Hall effect
| Production of a voltage across a conductor or semiconductor carrying a current at a right angle to a surrounding magnetic field. It was discovered in 1897 by the US physicist Edwin Hall (1855–1938). It is used in the Hall probe for measuring the strengths of magnetic fields and in magnetic switches. |
