Hall Effect Sensors

What is hall effect ?

The Hall effect is the production of a voltage difference (the

Hall voltage) across a current carrying conductor (in presence
of magnetic field), perpendicular to both current and the
magnetic field.

 Hall Effect Sensors

A Hall effect sensor is a transducer that varies its output

voltage in response to a magnetic field .

These are devices whose output signal is the function of

magnetic field density around it.
