The Hall effect is one of the physical phenomena that explains the fundamental interaction of electricity and magnetism. This effect was discovered by American physicist Edwin Herbert Hall in 1879.
The Hall effect occurs when a magnetic field is applied to a conductor or semiconductor device that allows current to flow. At this time, in an electrically symmetrical situation, it is an effect that occurs between a vertically flowing current and a horizontally applied magnetic field.
This effect plays a very important role in electronic component technology. In particular, Hall sensors are used to detect magnetic field strength, position, rotation, etc. These sensors are used in a variety of fields, including steering wheel position sensors in cars, brushless motor controls, car navigation systems, electronic throttles, car safety systems, and direction sensors in smartphones.
Hall sensors are typically optimized for specific applications and come in several different types. Among them, Hall plates, Hall-effect ICs, linear Hall devices, and Hall-based cameras are some of the most well-known examples.
These sensors play a very important role in a variety of fields, including the automotive industry, electronics manufacturers, industrial automation and automation industries.
