Editing Hall effect sensor (section)

==== Brushless motors ====
Some types of [[Brushless DC electric motor|brushless DC electric motors]] use Hall effect sensors to detect the position of the rotor and feed that information to the motor controller. This allows for more precise motor control. Hall sensors in 3 or 4-pin [[Brushless DC electric motor|brushless DC motor]]s sense the position of the rotor and to switch the [[Transistor|transistors]] in the right sequence.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Burke |first=Mary |date=February 2004 |title=Why and How to Control Fan Speed for Cooling Electronic Equipment |url=https://www.analog.com/en/analog-dialogue/articles/how-to-control-fan-speed.html |journal=Analog Dialogue |volume=38}}</ref>
