Working of a Hall Probe

JamesJames

Where could I find out how a Hall probe works? I have got a book in mind called Introduction to electronics by Theodore Korneff but am not sure how useful it will be. I have searched the web but cannot find a description of its working.

Googling the term Hall probe turned up 1.2 million pages: the first one being hyper-physics. Hyper physics has a very good description of how a Hall effect probe works. What exactly are you looking for?

JamesJames

Yeah, hyperphysics seems to mention the Hall effect more than the probe or is that all that can be mentioned? I guess, I am looking for something which perhaps explains how the design/construction/structure of the Hall probe enables the measurement of the Hall effect. Yeah that' s actually a good way to put it.

gets into the applications of a hall sensor....

are you looking for actual semiconductor manufacturing information. If so, check these out for academic papers. You wil probably have to tweak your search a bit, but chances are you will find it.
