Which effect occurs when a strong external magnetic field is applied perpendicular to a Hall effect sensor?

A)Increased sensor output voltage
B)Reduced sensor power consumption
C)Reversed polarity of output signal
D)Lowered sensor operating temperature

💡 Explanation

When a strong magnetic field is applied, the Lorentz force on moving charges within the sensor increases significantly, leading to a greater charge separation and a larger potential difference across the sensor. Therefore output voltage increases, rather than reduced consumption, reversed polarity or lowered temperature which require alternative mechanisms.
