This lecture covers the Hall effect, a phenomenon where a voltage difference is created in a conductor transverse to the electric current when subjected to a magnetic field. The effect is explained in detail, including its mathematical formulation and practical applications in devices such as Hall sensors. The lecture also discusses the separation of charges and the generation of an electric field due to the Lorentz force. Various examples and calculations are provided to illustrate the concepts.
