Hi fellow wikipedians! I've just uploaded a large, detailed illustration of the Hall effect to Commons - see Image:Hall_effect.png -- Peo from danish Wikipedia

Nice!!--Krackpipe 18:07, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Great diagrams! 17:33, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

The diagram is great! excellent addition to the article Kupojsin 11:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

What is the symbol for a Hall effect sensor (3 wire type) for use in a schematic diagram ? - Joshua Hrouda, 26/7/05

[edit] Diagram ownership

Some of the diagrams on the site belong to a company (Raztec). Something should probably be done about this.

[edit] Important question

How does the Hall voltage build up if only one type of charge accumulates at one side of the conductor? For example, electric current is the flow of electrons so they deviate from their 'normal' path and 'rush' to one side of the conductor. But where does the positive charge to accumulate at the opposite side of the conductor come from?--RokasT 11:32, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hall coefficient

Why isn't the Hall coefficient mentioned? RH = 1/ne --82.43.144.131 18:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
