Due to small size, ease of use, high accuracy, and suitability for
measurement of both AC and DC magnetic fields, Hall devices have
been widely used to measure magnetic fields. Together with other
devices, they can be used for automatic control and measurements of
position, displacement, speed, angle, and other physical quantities.
This apparatus is purposed to help students understand the principle
of Hall effect, measure the sensitivity of a Hall element, and learn how
to use a Hall element to measure magnetic field intensity. It has the
following attractions:
1. GaAs Hall element has high sensitivity, wide linear range, and
small temperature coefficient.
2. Small working current of Hall element yields stable and reliable ex-
perimental data.
3. Visible shape and structure of test sample and Hall element yield
intuitive result.
4. Durable instrument incorporates protective mechanism.
