Drag to rotate; pinch to zoom. With the view focused: arrow keys rotate, + / − zoom, 1–3 choose a layer, Home resets rotation and zoom. Step advances to the next layer; Reset returns to the case and default view. Layer buttons select a view directly. The page does not move on its own.
The dark Hall-sensor package has three leads extending from it.
Teaching view: The dark package surrounds the Hall sensing chip, with three leads extending below it. Peel away the cover to see the chip that responds to the magnetic field.

A small magnet and a Hall-effect sensor can measure wheel or shaft speed, detect a nearby object, or sense position without contact. [Evidence-Based Comparison]
Teaching view: Gold wires connect the dark sensing chip to the metal leads. The sensor produces a voltage that changes with magnetic field strength, so a nearby magnet can make movement measurable without contact.
A Hall-effect sensor detects magnetic field strength directly. [Evidence-Based Comparison]
A Hall-effect sensor outputs a voltage that varies with magnetic field strength. [Evidence-Based Comparison]
Teaching view: The gold square marks a thin sensing area on the chip. A supplied current flows through it. A magnetic field across the sensing area pushes moving electric charges toward one side, creating a voltage across the area. The readout uses this voltage to sense the magnetic field.
Explode separates the proposed layers; X-ray makes the case translucent. These are teaching views. No commercial sensor construction or wiring is specified.
