Electrostatic field problems occurring in Hall plates are difficult to solve, mainly because of a non‐standard boundary condition defining an oblique angle of the electric field w.r.t. an isolating boundary. A new approach for solving Hall‐related field problems is presented. Compared to prior approaches, the technique leads more easily to closed‐form expressions for the electric field, and allows obtaining voltage‐related Hall characteristics in numerically well conditioned forms.
