Hall effect
(voltage generated by interacting current and magnetic field)
The Hall effect is a type of voltage-difference
generated by a magnetic field within which there is
a current that is not parallel to the field lines.
The resulting voltage difference is perpendicular to both the
direction of the current and the field lines.
The Hall effect in plasma may be relevant in star formation
and in the behavior of circumstellar disks:
it is thought to be a factor in the reduction of angular momentum
of gas that allows the gas to fall inward.
The effect is also of interest regarding stellar activity
of fully-formed stars.
And the effect is used in some electric thruster designs.
