Hall Effect
Hall effect is a process in which a transverse electric field is developed in a solid material when
the material carrying an electric current is placed in a magnetic field that is perpendicular to the
current. The Hall effect was discovered by Edwin Herbert Hall in 1879. In this article, let us learn
about the Hall effect in detail.
Theory
When a conductive plate is connected to a circuit with a battery, then a current starts flowing.
The charge carriers will follow a linear path from one end of the plate to the other end. The
motion of charge carriers results in the production of magnetic fields. When a magnet is placed
near the plate, the magnetic field of the charge carriers is distorted. This upsets the straight
flow of the charge carriers. The force which upsets the direction of flow of charge carriers is
known as Lorentz force (https://byjus.com/physics/lorentz-force/).
Due to the distortion in the magnetic field of the charge carriers, the negatively charged
electrons will be deflected to one side of the plate and positively charged holes to the other
side. A potential difference, known as the Hall voltage will be generated between both sides of
the plate which can be measured using a metre.

Hall Coefficient
The Hall coefficient RH is mathematically expressed as
E
RH =
jB
Where j is the current density of the carrier electron, Ey is the induced electric field and B is the
magnetic strength. The hall coefficient is positive if the number of positive charges is more than
the negative charges. Similarly, it is negative when electrons are more than holes.

In the Hall effect, the direction of the magnetic field and electric
field are parallel to each other. True or False?
False. The magnetic field and electric field are perpendicular to each other.
