    Study Notes

    The Hall Effect

    • Edwin Hall discovered the Hall effect in 1879.
    • The Hall effect is a phenomenon in which a voltage difference is produced across a conductor when it carries an electric current and is placed in a magnetic field perpendicular to the current.
    • The Hall coefficient is a measure of the strength of the Hall effect in a given material.

    Hall Coefficient

    • The Hall coefficient depends on the type of material, its temperature, and the strength of the magnetic field.
    • It is a constant of proportionality that relates the Hall voltage to the product of the current density and the magnetic field strength.

    History of Electromagnetism

    • The modern theory of electromagnetism was systematized by James Clerk Maxwell in the late 19th century, leading to a fundamental shift in the understanding of electricity and magnetism.
    • Maxwell's work built upon the discoveries of earlier scientists, including Michael Faraday and Andre-Marie Ampere.
