In a Hall sensor, a fixed DC bias current is applied along one axis across a thin strip of metal called the Hall element

Hall elements measure only the sensing axis component of the magnetic field vector. Because that axial component may be positive or negative, some Hall sensors can sense the binary direction of the axial componen… See more

The following materials are especially suitable for Hall effect sensors:
• Gallium arsenide (GaAs)
• Indium arsenide (InAs)
• Indium phosphide (InP)… See more

Hall effect sensors may be used in various sensors such as rotating speed sensors (bicycle wheels, gear-teeth, automotive speedometers, electronic ignition systems), fluid flow sensors, current sensors, and pressure s… See more
