where V0 = wNAB0
Connect the coil PQ to a CRO.
A sinusoidal signal will be seen on the CRO.
Rotate the coil until the amplitude of the signal is a maximum.
i.e. the orientation of the coil is perpendicular to the magnetic field.
The amplitude is proportional to B0.
Again the search coil need to be calibrated if absolute
measurement is required.
The following might affect the accuracy of the measurement:
1. The probe may not be exactly perpendicular to the field.
2. The area of the probe restricts the spatial resolution
if there is magnetic field gradient along the area.
3. The change in temperature affect the mobility of

the charge carriers significantly.
Thus an increase in temperature increases the Hall voltage as well.1
(b) (ii) The accuracy might be affected by:
1.
sensitivity of the CRO to give large amplitude trace.

2. stray fields which could be comparable to field being measured. 1
