History

The Hall Effect was discovered in 1879 by Edwin Herbert Hall while he was attending Johns Hopkins University for his Doctoral Degree. He exposed a gold leaf (metal slab) to a magnetic field perpendicular to its surface and had current flow through the slab. He observed a potential (delta V) perpendicular to the current and also the magnetic field. This means that potential is observed not only in the direction of current flow like usual. This is what led to Hall's discovery o the Hall Effect.
