Hall Effect Sensor

β‚Ή20.00Price

πŸ“Œ Overview

A Hall Effect Sensor is an electronic device that detects the presence, strength, and direction of a magnetic field.

πŸ‘‰ It is widely used in:

  • πŸ€– Robotics

  • πŸš— Automotive systems

  • πŸ“± Smartphones

  • βš™οΈ Industrial automation

🧠 Working Principle

The sensor works based on the Hall Effect:

  • When current flows through a conductor

  • And a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to it

  • A voltage (called Hall voltage) is generated

πŸ‘‰ This voltage is used to detect magnetic fields.
