Description
English: Shows the Hall effect for different directions of electric current and magnetic field.

Legend:

  1. Electrons (not conventional current!)
  2. Hall element, or Hall sensor
  3. Magnets
  4. Magnetic field
  5. Power source

In drawing "A", the Hall element takes on a negative charge at the top edge (symbolised by the blue color) and positive at the lower edge (red color). In "B" and "C", either the electric current or the magnetic field is reversed, causing the polarization to reverse. Reversing both current and magnetic field (drawing "D") causes the Hall element to again assume a negative charge at the upper edge.

Rendered using POV-Ray. The scene description "code" shown below supports rendering all of the four "situations" portrayed in the image - see the comment given in the code in the page discussion. The four images were subsequently combined, and the numbers and letters added, in a graphics software package.

Deutsch: Diese Grafik illustriert den Halleffekt unter verschiedenen Richtungen des Elektronenflusses/des Magnetfeldes.

Legende:

  1. Elektronen
  2. Hallsensor/-element
  3. Magneten
  4. magnetisches Feld
  5. Spannungsquelle

In Abbildung A wird im oberen Bereich ein Elektronenüberschuss (durch die blaue Farbe symbolisiert), im unteren Bereich ein Elektronenmangel (rote Farbe) erzeugt. In den Abbildungen B und C ist der Elektronenfluss bzw. der Magnet in eine andere Richtung gebracht worden, weshalb die Polarisierung des Hallelementes umgekehrt ist.

Wird sowohl der Elektronenfluss als auch das magnetische Feld umgekehrt (Abbildung D), entsteht wie in Abbildung A ein Elektronenmangel im unteren Bereich.

Français : Effet Hall pour différents sens du courant et du champ magnétique.

Légende:

  1. Électrons (et non le Sens conventionnel !)
  2. Élément ou Capteur à effet Hall
  3. Aimants
  4. Champ magnétique
  5. Source de courant

Dans le dessin A, une charge négative apparait à la bordure haute de l'élément (couleur bleue), et une charge positive à sa bordure basse (couleur rouge). En B et C, l'inversion du sens du courant ou de celui du champs magnétique provoque l'inversion de cette polarisation. En D, la double inversion du courant électrique et du champs magnétique donnent à l'élément la même polarisation qu'en A.

Dessins réalisés en utilisant le logiciel POV-Ray. Le code et des remarques complémentaires sont disponibles dans la discussion.
