Abstract: | The interpretation of Hall effect data obtained with a long thin-film transducer of width a is discussed; the size of Hall probe contact pad and the characteristic dimension of the magnetic field nonuniformity are and lnrespectively. A diagram of local sensitivity of the transducer to the magnetic field has been plotted for liand a. Several particular examples of Hall emf measurement in a nonuniform magnetic field are considered.Translated from Izmeritel'naya Tekhnika No. 4, pp. 41–43, April, 1994.The author is grateful to V. B. Sandomirskii for proposing the problem and to A. A. Sukhanov and P. S. Sul'zhenko for a discussion of this work. |
