Hall effect: Do the charges that build up on the sides of conductor kept in uniform magnetic field get uniformly distributed?

When we keep a metal block through which some constant current is flowing in a uniform magnetic field the charges will separate and a potential difference will be created b/w the sides of the ...

Switching the position of voltage probes changes the sign of the measured voltage. How can you determine the charge sign in a Hall effect then?

When you measure the voltage in a battery, for example, you place the voltage probes at the battery ends and get, let's say, a reading of 1.5V. If you change the position of the probes in regards to ...
