I Hall Effect & Magnetic Induction Explained

AI Thread Summary
The Hall effect is not the same as magnetic induction. The Hall effect occurs when a magnetic field causes charge carriers, such as electrons, to be deflected, resulting in a Hall emf. In contrast, magnetic induction, as described by Faraday's laws, involves an induced emf due to changing magnetic flux linkage. The key distinction lies in the nature of the magnetic field; the Hall effect can occur with a static magnetic field, while induction requires a changing field. Understanding this difference is crucial for grasping the principles of electromagnetism.

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.

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
