For an integer quantum Hall effect plateau with index carrying a known current , the true transverse voltage is . If an offset-corrected instrument displays , its gain in volts per displayed unit is . Independent current and displayed-height errors add in relative quadrature. The Hall-bar width cancels; it enters an electric-field calibration instead. A missing plateau height or an unidentified absolute plateau index prevents a unique numerical gain.
