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.

Assume that this is a case where by sheer coincidence, two sources of coherent single-frequency EM wave pulses with equal duration are both fired in opposing directions, with both carrying the same frequency and amplitude and orientation. These two waves meet head-on while moving in opposing directions, and their phases are precisely offset by 180 degrees so that each trough of one wave meets with the crest of the other. This should be true for both the electric and magnetic components of...
