Can someone explain in detail if halls effect is magnetic induction?

The Hall Effect is a phenomenon in which a voltage difference, known as the Hall voltage, is created across a conductor when it is placed in a magnetic field. This effect was discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879 and is caused by the interaction between the moving charges in the conductor and the magnetic field.
When a conductor is placed in a magnetic field, the electrons within the conductor experience a force due to their motion and the magnetic field. This force causes the electrons to accumulate on one side of the conductor, creating a charge imbalance and resulting in a measurable voltage difference, known as the Hall voltage.
The Hall Effect has many practical applications, such as measuring the strength of magnetic fields, determining the type of charge carrier in a material, and creating sensors for current, position, and rotation.
Magnetic induction is the process by which a magnetic field induces a current in a conductor. This phenomenon was discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831 and is the basis for many electrical devices, including generators and transformers.
The Hall Effect is a type of magnetic induction, where a magnetic field induces a voltage difference in a conductor. However, while traditional magnetic induction involves a changing magnetic field, the Hall Effect occurs in a steady magnetic field. Additionally, the Hall Effect is only observed in conductors, while magnetic induction can occur in both conductors and insulators.
