Edwin Herbert Hall (November 7, 1855 – November 20, 1938) was an American physicist, who discovered the electric field Hall effect. Hall conducted thermoelectric research and also wrote numerous physics textbooks and laboratory manuals.
Edwin Herbert Hall (ur. 7 listopada 1855 w Great Falls, zm. 20 listopada 1938 w Cambridge) – amerykański fizyk, odkrywca efektu Halla.
30 lis 2015 · While working under Henry Augustus Rowland, he discovered the Hall Effect in 1879. He was trying to find an answer to the question posed by Maxwell as to whether the resistance of a coil excited by a current was affected by the presence of a magnet.
23 paź 2024 · Edwin Herbert Hall. (1855—1938) Quick Reference. (1855–1938) American physicist. Hall was born in Great Falls, Maine, and educated at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, where he received his PhD in 1880.
Edwin Hall’s experiment, performed almost exactly one hundred years ago, had an elegant simplicity to it. A current from a carbon-zinc battery was passed through a strip of gold foil (2 cm. × 9 cm.) fixed firmly on a glass plate by means of brass clamps....
Over the past 140 years, the Hall effect has become an indispensable tool for measuring the strength of electromagnetic fields. When Hall’s paper was published, it was hailed as a major advance in the basic science of magnetism and electricity.
Abstract: Of the many physicists who didn't win a Nobel Prize, Edwin Herbert Hall is among a select group for whom the failure seems a particular injustice. On 28 October 1879, the 23-year-old Hall made a discovery that still reverberates today (and which would eventually lead to Nobel Prizes for four other people).
