A fundamental experimental activity on Hall effect

Abstract

It is rare to find low-cost devices that show the Hall effect in middle school physics laboratories. We present a montage and an associated experimental activity in which this effect is measured in bismuth. The technological and scientific importance of phenomena of interaction between fields and currents bases the inclusion of its treatment in the basic courses of physics.
