Question

A Hall probe is made up of:
Options
A metals
B non metals
C semiconductor
Correct Answer
D radioactive material
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Hall probes typically use semiconductor materials (like gallium arsenide or indium antimonide) because they can produce a larger Hall voltage for a given magnetic field compared to metals, due to their lower charge carrier density and higher mobility.

Hint

Consider the materials commonly used in electronic sensors for magnetic fields.
