Drive and Magnetic Field
PH360 – Section 012
Purpose:
In an effort to become familiar with the Hall Effect, a commercial
Hall probe was to be investigated and experimented with.
Observations were to be made as to how Hall voltage varies with
a constant magnetic field and varying drive currents. Additionally,
the effect of a varying magnetic field (angle between the Hall
probe and the magnetic source) on a Hall probe of constant
current was to be measured.
Graph 1: Hall Voltage Produced Versus Current
Graph 2: Theoretical and Experimental Hall Voltage Versus Angle
Conclusion:
In an effort to become familiar with the Hall Effect, a commercial
Hall probe was investigated and experimented with. Observations
of the voltage variation with a constant magnetic field and varying
drive currents proved a direct proportionality between current and
the Hall voltage as predicted. Additionally, the effect of a varying
magnetic field (angle between the Hall probe and the magnetic
source) on a Hall probe of constant current was observed and
compared to theoretical expectations. Strong correlation between
both parts of the experiment and the theoretical model

Hall Effect.
