This is an incredible explanation of a microelectronics concept that I've had difficulty grasping in the past. Thank you for taking the time to make it clear. Cheers!
The magnetic field, the current created by the voltage applied to the Hall affect device and the force acting on the electrons should be all orthogonal to each other. So on your white board the north pole of the magnet should be behind the white board and the south pole in front. Fleming's Left Hand Rule (for motors) gives these directions (it uses conventional current flow, even though that was subsequently shown to be the opposite to reality) would have the positive of the applied voltage at the bottom of the device illustrated with the negative on the top (if the negative of the Hall voltage is to appear on the right of the of a Hall affect device as illustrated).
You sir, are a wonderful teacher. I can tell that you love knowledge and that you enjoy sharing it with others. You've made this concept very easy for me to understand. Thank you so much, God bless!
It would be cool if you "electrically " took us from the radio transmitter we hold all the way through the prop spinning on an electric plane.... and everything in between. These are great and we learn so much!!!!! Thanks Bruce!
As a car mechanic this has helped me understand more how the sensors work in cars Crankshaft / camshaft / distributors mostly use hall sensors. Thank you
*Warning* : The explanation in this video is not correct. Electrons or any charge is never attracted or repelled by magnetic field. Magnetic field exerts force on, say +ve charge (q), by this formula F=q(VxB); So the force exerted by magnetic field causes the +/-charge to move perpendicular to the direction of motion and also to the magnetic field. For proper explanation checkout this video th-cam.com/video/xbGeMx0zOoc/w-d-xo.html
Now this explained the hall effect its been since about 1964 since I studied electronics 🤤 I watched some other guy do an art lesson that left me more confused than when I started thank you for the simple well done explanation
Love your videos. Simple to understand. Gets me there quickly to get a GRASP on the subject. Looking at the thumbs down on a few and wondering why there are as many as there is. Then I realize they are the poindexters that go ( in a nasally voice) ," you said pie is 3.14. Nuh uh, your wrong it's 3.1415." We that watch your videos are laymen and don't have time to watch a 10hr video on the truest form of the subject and probably wouldn't even grasp it anyways. These videos are to get us in the ballpark on a subject and get the AHHHH I kinda understand now. Love your vids Bruce.
Actually they are pushed to the side by the magnet. Which side depends on the pole of the magnet that is closest to the sensor. For the shown deflection the magnet would have come from the direction of the pen on the board, not in the plane of the board. Apart from that a very good explanation.
Well, the electrons themselves are not much affected by the magnet. The moving charge is what gets pushed by a magnetic field. So you have to get electrons moving for them to be affected. That's one thing I noticed.
Hahaha, technically true, I guess that was one of the details he left out to simplify, which I understand as it is not crucial to understanding how hall effect sensors work. Good'ol right hand rule cross products.
One thing I think is most important in educational products: when statement is simplified, it cannot contradict scientific knowledge. "Electrons are attracted to magnet" is this general form is a false statement.
deelkar Really!?! All I can say is.... K.I.S.S. - Keep It Simple, Stupid! C’mon, man! Most of us just want to know how our gimbals control our planes or drones! We don’t want to read a two-inch thick book about the effects of magnetism on a semiconductor. We just want to keep our stuff in the air.
Hello Bruce! Great video again, love the whiteboard! Would love to watch a whiteboard video about optimization of power combo, from props to batteries, going through motors and ESC's, taking into account the weight or flying characteristics desired. I know it's way too much for your small whiteboard and your almost finished markers, but you have managed yourself to explain so many things that I would think this is not a big task for you! Thank you for your passion!
Wouldn't the electrons be redirected in the direction into the whiteboard? Because F=q(E+v x B) where there is no external electric field, but the velocity is up, and the magnetic field is to the left, and the electric charge is negative. So by cross product I expect the applied force would point into the page.
Sorry but I've got to say this: always you get some one trying to boast how good they are ( electrons don't do that), COOL it you guys, Bruce was using the simplest explanations as to what hall effect is, so that everyone can understand. He's not doing a course in advanced electronics.
When trying to teach there is an obligation to get it correct. I'm sure Bruce once knew this stuff and 5 minutes spent revising would have resulted in a video that was substantially correct. This video is mostly incorrect.
mick sharp well said. I know nothing about electronics, this is WAY over my head, but Bruce has a real skill at explaining a subject that is mysterious to me. To all those who want to correct him...get your own channel.
I'm very slow at grasping anything in the topics of physics but what I always tend to do to help me grasp it is to look at the foundation of most all things which is the table of elements I think we are on 118 of them, also I remember the fact that as humans we try to control things for ease of use so for instance if we have 600 volts power source and all we want to do is power a 60 watt light bulb we need to find a way to step down the power and obviously that's where all the components like capacitors and semiconductor come into the equation.
Thanks Bruce ...ah the whiteboard , reminds me of my physics lessons run by an ex army colonel. He used to push Mercury around his desk with a pencil , to demonstrate its properties at room temp!
I used to do that as a child back in the 1940/50s :) No-one bothered much about the potential health hazards in those days. We also once had to draw mercury up a pipette for a school science experiment - one guy sucked too hard and got some in his mouth ! Excellent video btw. I'm a retired electronics engineer a little older than Bruce so I'm aware of some of the simplifications but I don't think they matter too much if the basic ideas get across which is all that matters in this case.
Belper Flyer Yes Bruce explains very well , its like having a private Tutor in Aeromodelling . Was wondering what Hall effect was on my Taranis plus ltd edition. Hope that boy had no ill effects from the Mercury incident!
You are the teacher ive been missing my whole life idk how kany videos ive randomly watched but you hleped me understand so easily ive been wondering lately what effect a magnet would have on current, thank you !!!!!! Is there any way i can get specific answers on certain questions not normally asked?
Actually the magnetic field falls off as 1/r^3 (not 1/r^2). Remember, there's no monopole term in the expansion of magnetic fields unlike electric fields
It seems like the direction of the magnetic field you are creating with the magnet placed there will actually make the electrons go downwards instead of going to the right. Other than that, great video.
I’m really struggling to find anything on Mr Hall on TH-cam. Seems a bit like how Tesla wasn’t talked about when I was doing my Australian electrician trade school in the early 1990s.
You are correct. I was wondering if anyone else would bring that up. Electrons are NOT attracted by a magnetic field. They will experience the Lorentz force, however. Nice guy, but some of the stuff he says is cringe-worthy. :-)
I find dozens of wiring diagrams for connection to an ardino but none for connecting to a mach 3 BOB, is that they cannot act like a Normally Closed switch, or they just don’t work on my type system. I really need a wiring diagram for my system. Thanks.
Is the word 'Hall', the scientist's name, like Volta and Ampere, who discovered it ? Or, is is referring to a sort of hall in the electrons/device or such ?
I suppose will be commonplace enough any day now that AR and VR are becoming more developed and more widespread - especially given considerable 3D rendering prowess of smartphone/tablet processors.
but the induced electric field must be perpendicular to both applied mag field and current. according to this video it is parallel to applied electric field. how is this possible??
Is there a way to tell which wire is which? I have a new wheel speed sensor to install, but the company changed it with no plug and told me to just splice the wires together. I think I know but I'd like to know for sure I'm wiring it right the first time.
You may have some things wrong if you reverse the polarity of the voltage source does the voltage at the meter reverse? if I'm been taught correctly it does, it would not be that the magnet attracts or repels electrons by the magnetic pole because it would all way attract electrons by one pole and repel by the other regardless of the perpendicular flow of electricity. The direction of the flux field, which reinforces or collided with the electromagnetic direction of the plate making one side the easier path and therefore causing one side to have more electrons, that is more likely responsible for the hall effect. Some potentiometer use coils which will have stronger magnetic fields, that may be what is needed for your pot explanation. We do not know if this has anything to do with hell, because hell may have different physical properties, maybe even a different dimension, be an alternate reality that exists in a parallel to our own, but where things work or happened differently, or something.
Hi Xapk here again..... just wondering if you know how Hall effect is used in a torque sensor. My e bike's conked out and suspect the torque sensor. Various wires going between the sensor and the controller 6 in total. Just wondering if there's an obvious function of them all which I could test out. One pair is likely to be just a simple DC current.
This is an incredible explanation of a microelectronics concept that I've had difficulty grasping in the past. Thank you for taking the time to make it clear. Cheers!
I explained it in a much better and simpler way.
th-cam.com/video/DtIz_HACSPI/w-d-xo.html

So on your white board the north pole of the magnet should be behind the white board and the south pole in front.

So this entire 11 minute video is incorrect?

Bangersnsmash Uk The mirror-mounted compass in many cars has one, too.
Fantastic video, I looked everywhere for good explanation and I couldn't find a better one! Thank you for uploading.

Do you ever get a Hall effect when you walk along a corridor?
No... but I really a-door walking down corridors anyway. :-)
If there are three doors at the end of the corridor, you get the Monty Hall effect.
If there's a group of smokers you might see small Hall effect
Ok
If there is a hot babe at the end of the corridor, I get a Hall effect in my pants.
i love these electrical theory videos Bruce! cheers!
It's not a theory...

Jim Goodwin Well stated!
just curious what were some things that were incorrect?
Learned something today! Thanks for the video!
Yes please, an explanation of how those solid state gyros work. Black magic I guess. Keep up the great work Bruce.
Thanks Bruce, makes it simple to understand.
Also, some ESC for brushless motors (most of the sensored ones) use Hall effect sensors as a feedback, to control timing.
Tiago de Pádua
Yes, I got one by taking apart an old computer fan to make a hot wire detector. Very useful.
I love your disclaimers at the end of technical vids. I suppose they cut down on the geeky nit-picking a little but probably not enough.
;)
I did learn something today. Thanks.
Thanks, you explain very nice I understand immediately
You are the cool professor we never had.
Very good video. Clear and instructive. Thanks much.
Love these types of vids... Always fun to learn how everything works.
Your whiteboard videos are my favorite. Keep em coming Bruce! :)
That was a bloody wonderful explanation, well done!
Thanks for the clear explanation! So much better than the usual CGI + cheesy music crap. Can't beat old school white board....perfect!

Is there any way i can get specific answers on certain questions not normally asked?
Thank you Bruce.
You are a excellent physics teacher!
Very clear, thank you. Please discuss the different types of Hall sensors, especially the quantum hall sensor. That sounds interesting.
great one Bruce......I had a go at explaining hall and its benefits in one of my videos but not a patch on your explanation.....
Very useful information thanks to you I have never had heard about it before
The explanation was superb. Especially the bit with the op amp . . . you might include a Schmidt trigger in your next one.
always love when the white board comes out. i know im going to learn something good :)
Fascinating video - even if you have no interest in RC models.
Great video. Great presentation. Thanks Bruce
Thankyou for this vid. Very informative. Keep up the great content.
Thank you so much for your help! A great easy to understand explanation!
Great video Mr. White!!!!
very educative. thank you regards
Why don't university teachers explain these as simply and clear as you?!
A very good explanation. Thank you.
you explain it really well!
Good explanation sir thanks for sharing
Actually the magnetic field falls off as 1/r^3 (not 1/r^2). Remember, there's no monopole term in the expansion of magnetic fields unlike electric fields
A channel where the comments are as educational as the videos. That’s for the correction!
Brilliant teacher, thanks very much 😊
Thank you for this!
One-stop tech info shop. What ever the subject, if Bruce can't explain it, it's not possible.
Thanks mate fascinating as always , ..
This is a great help! Thank you RCMR:)
Great explanation - thank you
I learned something again. Thanks.
Tremendous, thank you.
It seems like the direction of the magnetic field you are creating with the magnet placed there will actually make the electrons go downwards instead of going to the right. Other than that, great video.
ah that's how it works. thanks Gandalf! ;-)
Congratulations Bruce!!!
Great work! More of this, please!
I think that you made a mistake. The magnetic field decreases by the cube of the distance, not the square. But it was interesting, thanks
Very interesting! Thank you
I’m really struggling to find anything on Mr Hall on TH-cam.
Seems a bit like how Tesla wasn’t talked about when I was doing my Australian electrician trade school in the early 1990s.
Awesome video mate! Finally someone explained it really well.
Would you please do a video on TWO wire Hall Effect?
I thought electrons move according to RHR presence of magnetic field (assuming it has velocity)
You are correct. I was wondering if anyone else would bring that up. Electrons are NOT attracted by a magnetic field. They will experience the Lorentz force, however. Nice guy, but some of the stuff he says is cringe-worthy. :-)
Great great you make it a joy to learn

Thanks.
As usual really interesting. Thanks!
i think you did a great job. Thanks
Great stuff 😊
easy to understand 👍
Thanks Bruce!
Hello, please why we connect resistor between supply and output signal in hall effect circuit ?
Is the word 'Hall', the scientist's name, like Volta and Ampere, who discovered it ? Or, is is referring to a sort of hall in the electrons/device or such ?
Another thumbs up 👍
Great, Thank you!
A parallel benefit is that I can brush up on my British. 😂.
I had no idea Whitey Bulger was a science teacher.. Impressive!
That moment when you finally find someone else thinking the same thing in the comments.
Where are those 3D whiteboards when you need them?
I suppose will be commonplace enough any day now that AR and VR are becoming more developed and more widespread - especially given considerable 3D rendering prowess of smartphone/tablet processors.
awsome
but the induced electric field must be perpendicular to both applied mag field and current. according to this video it is parallel to applied electric field. how is this possible??
I always wondered how the Hall Effect distributor worked in GM cars of the past. Now I know ;-)
And I thought those were optical. I know my Isuzu from the GM Isuzu era was.
Is there a way to tell which wire is which? I have a new wheel speed sensor to install, but the company changed it with no plug and told me to just splice the wires together. I think I know but I'd like to know for sure I'm wiring it right the first time.
Was anybody else excited when he brought out the brown white board marker?
You may have some things wrong if you reverse the polarity of the voltage source does the voltage at the meter reverse? if I'm been taught correctly it does, it would not be that the magnet attracts or repels electrons by the magnetic pole because it would all way attract electrons by one pole and repel by the other regardless of the perpendicular flow of electricity.

Hi Bruce if a engine used reluctor and hall effect sensor should the ecm have two setting reluctor and hall efect
That helps a lot. Thank you!
Flipping excellent
Nice demonstration ;)
How does one zero the reading? So that you get high low.
