Hall Effect in an alternating current circuit

Click For Summary
In an alternating current circuit, the Hall EMF is expected to follow an alternating pattern, reflecting the changes in current. The discussion raises questions about whether the Hall EMF maintains a consistent voltage based on average or RMS current, or if it varies in phase with the current. Additionally, it explores whether the Hall EMF experiences a phase shift in relation to the current wave. Resources for further study are sought, particularly journal papers that focus on the Hall Effect beyond sensors. The Hall Effect is applicable for sensing currents from DC to the frequency limits of AC measurement devices.

Since the classical Hall EMF is proportional to current, in an alternating current circuit, the Hall Emf should also follow an alternating pattern. Is it so? Or the Hall Emf doesn't change in a sine wave pattern instead remains more or less same and has a voltage based on the average/rms current?

Also, if the Hall emf changes according to a wave pattern, then is it in the same phase as the current or there is a phase shift?

I am looking for resources to study this, such as journal papers. However, searching isn't helping me much since I am getting results about Hall Effect Sensor and similar devices more.

The Hall Effect allows you to sense currents from DC up to the frequency limits of your AC measurement device and circuit. As you can see in the diagram at the Wikipedia page, the Lorentz Force will reverse lateral direction as the current through the Hall device changes direction:
