6.5 Hall sensor
6.5.1 Description
The Hall effect refers to the potential difference (Hall voltage) on opposite sides of a thin
sheet of conducting or semiconductor material in the form of a 'Hall bar' (or a van der
Pauw element) through which an electric current is flowing, created by a magnetic field
applied perpendicular to the Hall element. Edwin Hall discovered this effect in 1879.
