Hall Effect & Magnetic Induction Explained

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The Hall Effect is distinct from magnetic induction. The Hall Effect occurs when a magnetic field causes charge carriers, such as electrons in a metal, to be deflected, resulting in a Hall emf. In contrast, magnetic induction, as defined by Faraday's laws, involves an induced electromotive force (emf) due to changing magnetic flux linkage. Understanding these differences is crucial for applications in electromagnetism and electronic devices.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Hall Effect
  • Familiarity with Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction

An induced emf is generally considered to be due to a changing magnetic flux linkage (Faradays laws)
The Hall emf is caused by a magnetic field (not necessarily changing) causing charge carriers (electrons in a metal) being deflected by the magnetic field.
