SELF REVIEW

1. The Hall-Effect sensor is a solid-state device that operates on a principie called transduction (or the Hall-Effect).
2. The Hall-Effect is the ability of a conductive material to develop a voltage potential at right angles to current flow when
subected to magnetic fieids.

will vary directly with the strength of the magnetic field that is being
detected.
-. *f the amplifier is digital +, the output of the switch will
rapidly change from one state to the other when a magnetic field is
sensed by the device.
