SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the derivation of Hall voltage, specifically the equation ΔV = Ed, where d represents the width of the conductor. The user expresses difficulty in understanding this derivation, particularly the relationship between electric field strength and voltage. It is clarified that electric field strength (E) is defined as E = V/d, which directly relates voltage to the dimensions of the conductor. This foundational concept is crucial for grasping the principles of Hall effect measurements.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electric fields and voltage relationships

How did they get ΔV=Ed? (d=width of the conductor)

Sorry, I'm really rusty on my physics. Finding it quite difficult to review.
