Key Features

  • Voltage difference produced
  • Transverse to electric current
  • Magnetic field perpendicular to current

Pros

  • Can be used to measure magnetic fields
  • Important in electronic devices like sensors and switches

Cons

  • Sensitive to external interference
  • Requires calibration for accurate measurements
