Some types of brushless DC electric motors use Hall effect sensors to detect the position of the rotor and feed that information to the motor controller. This allows for more precise motor control. Hall sensors in 3 or 4-pin brushless DC motors sense the position of the rotor and to switch the transistors in the right sequence. [25]
The term ordinary Hall effect can be used to distinguish the effect described in the introduction from a related effect which occurs across a void or hole in a semiconductor or metal plate when current is injected via contacts that lie on the boundary or edge of the void. The charge then flows outside the void, within the metal or semiconductor ...
Fiber optic current sensor, using an interferometer to measure the phase change in the light produced by a magnetic field. Rogowski coil, electrical device for measuring alternating current (AC) or high speed current pulses. Giant Magnetoresistance(GMR): Magnetic field sensor suitable for AC & DC Current with higher accuracy than Hall Effect.
Some sensors require external voltage or current source of excitation, These sensors are called active sensors. (E.g. a temperature sensor like a thermistor & RTD, a pressure sensor (piezo-resistive and capacitive), etc.). The stability and precision of the excitation signal directly relates to the sensor accuracy and stability.
Differential Hall Effect Metrology (DHEM) is an electrical depth profiling technique that measures all critical electrical parameters (resistivity, mobility and carriers) through an electrically active material at sub-nanometer depth resolution. [1] [2] DHEM is based on the previously developed Differential Hall Effect (DHE) method. [3]
In electromagnetism, an eddy current (also called Foucault's current) is a loop of electric current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the conductor according to Faraday's law of induction or by the relative motion of a conductor in a magnetic field. Eddy currents flow in closed loops within conductors, in planes ...
A Hall effect sensor uses the Hall effect to measure the magnitude of a magnetic field. Other languages Čeština: Animace funkce Hallovy sondy využívající Hallova jevu k měření intenzity magnetického pole .
The planar Hall sensor is a type of magnetic sensor based on the planar Hall effect of ferromagnetic materials. [1] [2] It measures the change in anisotropic magnetoresistance caused by an external magnetic field in the Hall geometry. As opposed to an ordinary Hall sensor, which measures field components perpendicular to the sensor plane, the ...
