What a Hall effect sensor tells you

What a Hall effect sensor tells you

Hall effect sensor beside a bar magnet shown close and far away, with stronger and weaker field labels and larger and smaller output voltage A Hall effect sensor is a transducer that produces an output voltage when it is placed in a magnetic field. At A-level, you usually treat it as a device that turns magnetic flux density BBB into a voltage signal, rather than explaining the electron physics inside it.

Step-by-step lessons on AQA A Level Physics Hall effect sensor (A-level only). Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Physics is one of the most mathematically demanding A Levels -- at least 40% of the marks require maths skills at Level 2 (GCSE) standard or above, so build calculation and graph-handling fluency alongside the conceptual content from the start.
