What is Hall Effect?

Hi! My name is Shouq. This is my part of physics two report which was about Hall Effect. Electricity and Optics - Phys241 -AUM - American University of the Middle East -  Spring 2017.


Introduction


           The Hall Effect is a principle that was found by a physicist called Edwin Herbert Hall. Edwin Hall was born on November 7, 1855. He was experimenting with a lot of scientific activities throughout his life, but his most common and famous scientific discovery was found in 1879 which is the Hall Effect. The Hall Effect principle is the most famous and common method that are used to measure magnetic field.



         In this report, we will be discussing the principle of Hall Effect, the hypothesis, how it works, the motivation of the principle, the history, the physical background, application, and the conclusion to this report as well.

Hypothesis:


           The Hall Effect principle was found when Edwin happened to be using a semiconductor that has a current with moving charges that are all moving in the same exact direction. The semiconductor was shown to be perpendicular to a field that is called the magnetic field. The voltage can be measured at the right angles the path of the current. The identification and analogy that was common at that time was the electric current in a wire to a moving and flowing liquid inside a pipe. Edwin Hall's discovered theory compared to the magnetic force on the current that was found in a crowing to the exact same side of the wire or the pipe.


           The experiment that explains the Hall Effect is a really simple experiment and can be understood easily. When we have a TiN-conductive plate being used while setting a current to flow throughout the tin plated bar, we will notice that the charge carries will flow from one side to the other side in a straight line. After that, we bring a magnetic field nearby the conductive plate. We will find out that we caused a distribution to the charge carries that were flowing in a straight line. All of that happened due to a force that is called Lorentz Force. In this case, the negative charged electrons will gather in one side of the conductive plate, while all the positive charges will go to the other side of the plate. This means if a voltammeter was put between the positive and negative charges, we will get some measurable voltage quantities. To sum up everything, Hall Effect is the effect of getting a voltage that can be measured easily.

A magnetic field disturbs the positive and negative charges,
and make them go in different sides of the plate


Hall Effect Sensors


           When you use most of Hall Effect sensors, you will get a really small voltage only, but it got changed now. Now Hall Effect sensors are mainly manufactured with high gain amplifiers inside it.



           There are different types of amplifiers that are used in Hall Effect sensors, one is providing analog output and the other is digital output. The analog sensor includes a voltage regulator, amplifier, and a Hall element as well. If you look at then circuit, you will notice that the output of the Hall Effect sensor is analog in this case. The analog output is proportional to the magnetic field strength or to the Hall element output.


           Hall Effect digital output sensors have two states only. It is either "yes" or "no", there is no another option. In this case, "yes" and "no" could also mean "high" and "low" and so on. An example for Hall Effect digital output sensors could be the switch button in three dimension printer.


Motivation of the work:


           There is no doubt that The Hall Effect is a great principle that was ever found. It has many impacts on our lives nowadays. The importance of Hall Effect can be clearly seen through the fact that the discovery of Hall Effect made it finally possible to find the size and the measurement of an import constant of physics. It is called The Fine Structure Constant, and it is used to reach an unreachable great amount of accuracy. Hall Effect also helps scientists to get an easy achieved standard to get a precise determination of conductivity and accessibility.


           Hall Effect is important for today's technology in many different ways. One of its importance is a semiconductor whose ability to behave and conduct an electric current rises and increases together with temperature, and also whose charge transfers and carries can be negatively or positively charged, relying on the defect and impurity introduced into them. In general, the Hall Effect is being used to show and prove which type of material someone is dealing with and that can be done throughout measuring the Hall potential, the magnetic field, the current, and the sample geometry. It will be very easy to find and calculate the amount of charge carries per every unit of volume in the material that we are testing.


           If Hall Effect was not found, the sequence of many great developments could not have been discovered.

هل تريدين التبرع بشعرك؟ كيف؟ دليلك الشامل لكيفية التبرع بالشعر// Hair donation

"مرحباً! شعري طويل  وأفكر بقصه، أظن أنه من الإسراف أن أرمي شعري الطويل في القمامة بعد قصه لذا فكرت أن أتبرع به ولكن المشكلة أنني لا أعرف كيف أتبرع به ولا أين يمكنني فعل ذلك" السلام عليكم! اسمي شوق، قمت بالتبرع بشعري للمرة الأولى قبل سنتين في عام 2015 وبحثت كثيراً عن كيفية فعل ذلك بكلتا اللغتين العربية والإنجليزية كذلك، إذا كان لديك شغف في معرفة كيف يمكنك التبرع بشعرك إذن ما سأكتبه قد يكون مفيد بالنسبة لك ملاحظة : كل شيء سأقوله مرتبط بالشركة التي أتبرع لها، كل شركة لها شروط وتعليمات مختلفة عن الشركة الأخرى. الشعر المسموح التبرع به:   أقل طول مسموح التبرع به هو 12 انش اي حوالي 31 سم ، لتتأكدي أن القياس صحيح قومي بتحويل الشعر "الكيرلي" إلى شعر مسطح "ستريت". .يجب على الشعر أن يكون نظيف وغير مبلل، الشعر المبلل قد يتعفن خلال الشحن لا يمكنك التبرع بالشعر المصبوغ إلا بعد  أن يتلاشى الصبغ (إن كان هذا ممكناً) يمكن التبرع بالشعر الأبيض الناتج عن التقدم بالعمر. قبل التبرع قومي بتقسيم شعرك إلى 4 أقسام وسيكون أفضل لو استطعتي تقسيم شعرك إلى 6 ...

تجربتي مع إختبار الكفاءة في اللغة اليابانية في مصر Taking the JLPT in Egypt

السلام عليكم جميعاً! قبل أيام قليلة أخيراَ قمت بمعرفة درجة اختبار الكفاءة في اللغة اليابانية المستوى الخامس N5 لنبدأ أولاً بالتحدث عن ماهية الإختبار يطلق على الإمتحان JLPT JLPT=Japanese Language Proficiency Test=اختبار الكفاءة في اللغة الياباينة إختبار الكفاءة في اللغة اليابانية يحتوي على خمس مستويات حيث المستوى الأول أصعبها والمستوى الخامس أسهلها. N5 N4 N3 N2 N1 لماذا حرف الـ N ؟ لأن كلمة "اللغة اليابانية" في اللغة اليابانية هي 日本語 وتنطق "نيهون قو". ثانياً: التسجيل لنتحدث عن طريقة التسجيل لأنني لست مصرية ولا أعيش في مصر لذا بكل تأكيد قمت بالتسجيل عن طريق الإنترنت، ولكن كيف؟ قمت بالتواصل معهم عن طريق هذا الإيميل ثم قمت بالتواصل مع أحد موظفين مؤسسة اليابان في القاهرة، طلب مني ارسال صورة شخصية وتعبئة استمارة التسجيل ايميل مؤسسة اليابان في القاهرة: culture@ca.mofa.go.jp صورة للإستمارة وسوف يتم اخبارك كيف تقوم بتعبأة الإستمارة فلا تقلق!  ❤ يوم الإمتحان وصلنا الجامعة الساعة 8 أو 8:30 صباحاً، قبل دخول الجامعة مقابل البوابة قام رجال الأ...

( Japanese poem )The little bird, the bell, and me 私と小鳥と鈴と 「英語訳」

[Translated script] The little bird, the bell, and me Even with both of my hands open, I still can't fly in the sky, But the little flying bird Can't run as fast on the ground as me. Even if I shake my body, No beautiful sound comes out. But the ringing bell Doesn't know as much songs as me, The bell, the little bird and also me, We are all different, yet we are good. Poet: Misuzu Kaneko Translated by: Shouq A - Q8toy - ショーグ [The script for the poem] 私と小鳥と鈴と 私は両手うをひろげても、 お空はちょっとっも飛べないが。 飛べる小鳥は私のように、 地面を速く走れない。 私は体をゆすっても、 綺麗な音は出ないけど、 あの鳴る鈴は私のように、 たくさんな音は知らないよ。 鈴と小鳥とそれから私、 みんな違って、みんないい。 詩人:金子みすゞ [ Hiragana ~ ひらがな ] わたしとことりとすずと わたしはりょうてをひろげても おそらはちょっとっもとべないが。 とべることりはわたしのように、 じめんをはやくはしれない。 わたしはからだをゆすっても、 きれいなおとはでないけど、 あのなるすずはわたしのように、 たくさんなおとはしらないよ。 すずとことりとそれからわたし、 みんなちがって、みんないい。 しじん:かねこ みすず
