  "term": "Hall effect",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The generation of a voltage difference across an electrical conductor, transverse to an electric current and an applied magnetic field. This phenomenon occurs when the magnetic field exerts a Lorentz force on the moving charge carriers, deflecting them to one side of the conductor. The Hall voltage is proportional to the current and the magnetic field strength.",
