Abstract
The interpretation of Hall effect data obtained with a long thin-film transducer of width a is discussed; the size of Hall probe contact pad and the characteristic dimension of the magnetic field nonuniformity are δ and l n respectively. A diagram of local sensitivity of the transducer to the magnetic field has been plotted for δ ≪ l i and δ ≪ a. Several particular examples of Hall emf measurement in a nonuniform magnetic field are considered.
