5 Questions
What is the phenomenon called when a measurable voltage is produced between the two sides of a conductor due to the influence of a magnetic field?
Hall effect
Who is credited with the discovery of the Hall effect?
E. H. Hall
Why is conventional current used in most common electrical applications?
Positive and negative charge movement is considered equivalent
What type of materials has the Hall effect been used to study?
