Applications of Hall Effect

It is used to determine whether the material is p-type or n-type semiconductor. (i.e.,) if RH is negative then the material is n-type. If the RH is positive then the material is p-type.

APPLICATIONS OF HALL EFFECT

(i) It is used to determine whether the material is p-type or n-type semiconductor. (i.e.,) if RH is negative then the material is n-type. If the RH is positive then the material is p-type.

(ii) It is used to find the carrier concentration, ne = 1/eRH﴿ and nh= 1/eRH﴿

(iii) It is used to find the mobility of charge carriers μe, μh.

(iv) It is used to determine the sign of the current carrying charges.

(v) It is used to design magnetic flux meters and multipliers on the basis of Hall voltage.

 (vi) It is used to find the power flow in an electromagnetic wave.
