Instrumentation Transducers Questions and Answers – Hall Effect Transducers

This set of Instrumentation Transducers Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on ” Hall Effect Transducers”.

1. Hall Effect is a/an _____________
a) Electronic
b) Magnetic
c) Galvanic
d) Ionizing
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Hall Effect is due to the interaction of the magnetic field and moving electric charge which results in the development of forces that alter the motion of charge.

2. At equilibrium Lorentz forces will be ____________ of Hall Effect force.
a) Double
b) Half
c) Equal
d) No proportionality
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: At equilibrium condition, Lorentz force and Hall Effect force balances each other and they will be equal in magnitude.

3. Which of the following represents the correct expression of Lorentz force?
a) EH/b
b) eEH/b
c) eEH
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Magnitude of Lorentz force will be equal to the ratio of the product of electronic charge and Hall potential with width in meters.

4. Hall potential is inversely proportional to magnetic flux density.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Hall potential is always directly proportional to magnetic flux density. Expression is given as EH=BbV; where b is the width and V represents velocity.

5. Hall Effect is clearly visible in _______________
a) Pure conductors
b) Semiconductors
c) Super conductors
d) Metals
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Hall coefficient depends on the number of free charge carriers and it is clearly visible in semiconductors.

a) Hall potential
b) Emf
c) Applied voltage
d) Lorentz Voltage
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Output of Hall Effect transducer is called Hall potential and is denoted by EH.

9. Hall Effect transducers attain equilibrium instantaneously.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: A time delay of 10-14 is required for a Hall Effect transducer to attain equilibrium.
