When I take the yellow image below, and rotate it clockwise 90 degrees, it appears to resemble image "D" above. Except that the Hall voltage polarity is oppposite that of image "D".

Under the "Discovery" section it says

"The Hall effect was discovered in 1879 by Edwin Herbert Hall while working on his doctoral degree at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. His measurements of the tiny effect produced in the apparatus he used was an experimental tour de force, accomplished 18 years before."

This statement likely requires some explanation to put it into proper context. Further more the hanging "accomplished 18 years before." needs to be addressed.

When I take the yellow image below, and rotate it clockwise 90 degrees, it appears to resemble image "D" above. Except that the Hall voltage polarity is oppposite that of image "D".

Under the "Discovery" section it says

"The Hall effect was discovered in 1879 by Edwin Herbert Hall while working on his doctoral degree at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. His measurements of the tiny effect produced in the apparatus he used was an experimental tour de force, accomplished 18 years before."
