The Hall effect is the production of a voltage difference (the Hall voltage) across an electrical conductor, transverse to an electric current in the conductor and a magnetic field perpendicular to the current. It was discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879.

The Hall Effect can distinguish between positive charges flowing in one direction and negative charges flowing in the other. It is also a common way of measuring the strength of a magnetic field.

Hall effect used in the application of sensors which varies the output voltage in response to the magnetic field and is used for proximity switching, speed detection, positioning, current sensing application etc.

Hal effect is used in sensor application as it is used for current sensing application, positioning, proximity switching, speed detection etc. It is a transducer which varies the output voltage in response to the magnetic field.

The principle of Hall Effect states that when a current-carrying conductor or a semiconductor is introduced to a perpendicular magnetic field, a voltage can be measured at the right angle to the current path. This effect of obtaining a measurable voltage is known as the Hall Effect.

The Hall effect is when a magnetic field is applied at right angles to the current flow in a thin film where an electric field is generated, which is mutually perpendicular to the current and the magnetic field and which is directly proportional to the product of the current density and the magnetic induction.
