The Hall Effect
What is the physical mechanism behind this transverse voltage? How does the magnetic field interact with the current?
Timothian Model's Short Answer...
Subatomic pieces of matter flow in the magnetic field and in the conductor. Magnetically driven pieces physically spin as they exit the magnet, and transfer kinetic energy to the electrically driven pieces.

Results from interactions between different chunk flows:
Current in the conductor is a flow of specific chunk species.
The external magnetic field is another organized chunk flow.
When these flows intersect, chunks from the magnetic flow collide with chunks in the conductor.
These collisions deflect the conductor's chunk flow, creating a pressure differential across the conductor.
This pressure difference manifests as the Hall voltage.
Offers a tangible, mechanical explanation for the observed voltage without invoking abstract fields or charge carriers.
