The Hall effect is a voltage arising from an electric field perpendicular to a magnetic field in a material. It is to be distinguished from the quantum hall effect (QHE).

How can we explain that beryllium has positive charge carriers as a metal (from Feynman Lectures)?
This question naturally arises from reading Feynman Lectures Vol III 14-3 The Hall effect, online available here, where Feynman states the following:
The original discovery of the anomalous sign of the potential difference in the Hall effect was…

Impact of thickness of metal on hall effect
I was reading the paper on the Hall Effect and found that the initial experiment was performed on a metal strip. The experiment on the metal failed to provide any useful results, and then it was stated that
Owing probably to the fact that the metal…

Electric field shielding by a metal plate
I was watching this video on Hall effect, and to demonstrate that it is not electric fields that are bending the electron beam, the presenter puts a metal plate between the magnet and the beam.
So, my question is, say there was a charge instead of…

Can you measure hall voltage for holes and electrons in the same time?
I have an experiment on hall effect, and the goal is to determine hall coefficient and determine what type of the material it is, using Uh=f(B) graph. The table of results show two columns of measure for one material, the first column represents…
