Picture a little line of chairs with people sitting in them except the first chair. Now the person in the second chair moves to the first chair. The second chair is empty. Visualize each person in turn moving to the empty chair. The empty chair is now at the other end of the line. This is similar to the way electrons and holes appear in semiconductors. The electrons move and create holes. The holes only appear to move, but the effect is the same. Do the holes move? Effectively, yes, but only by virtue of electron movement.

What is the difference between ac Hall effect and dc Hall effect?

The AC Hall effect is used to measure the sign and magnitude of an alternating magnetic field, whereas the DC Hall effect is used to measure the sign and magnitude of a steady magnetic field. In AC Hall effect, the magnetic field changes direction periodically, while in DC Hall effect, the magnetic field is constant.

How can you find more information about the Hall effect?

The Hall effect was discovered by Edwin Hall, and references the difference in electrical current when exposed to a magnetic field. One can find out more about the Hall effect by consulting a physics textbook or physics teacher or professor.


What is hall effect hall voltage?

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


What do you understand by negative and positive hall effect?

The Hall effect refers to the generation of a voltage difference across an electrical conductor when it is exposed to a magnetic field perpendicular to the current flow. The positive Hall effect occurs in materials where the charge carriers are positive holes (like in p-type semiconductors), resulting in a voltage that indicates the direction of the magnetic field. In contrast, the negative Hall effect occurs in materials with negative charge carriers (like electrons in n-type semiconductors), producing a voltage that reflects the opposite direction of the magnetic field. This phenomenon helps in determining the type of charge carriers in a material and is widely used in sensors and electronic devices.
