The ______ is defined as the ratio of the induced electric field to the product of the current density and the applied magnetic field. It is a characteristic of the material from which the conductor is made, since its value depends on the type, number, and properties of the charge carriers that constitute the current.

Study Notes
Hall Effect
- The Hall effect is the production of a potential difference across an electrical conductor.
- This potential difference is called the Hall voltage.
- This voltage is transverse to an electric current in the conductor, and to an applied magnetic field perpendicular to the current.
- The Hall effect was discovered by Edwin Hall.
- The Hall coefficient is defined as the ratio of the induced electric field to the product of the current density and the applied magnetic field.
- The Hall coefficient is a characteristic of the material from which the conductor is made.
- Its value depends on the type, number, and properties of the charge carriers that constitute the current.
James Clerk Maxwell
- James Clerk Maxwell systematized the modern theory of electromagnetism in a paper he wrote.
- His paper established a solid mathematical basis for electromagnetic theory.
- Despite Maxwell's paper, detailed mechanisms of the theory were still being explored.
- One such exploration focused on the details of the Hall effect.
