Application of a dual-current technique to a double-boundary geometry helps demonstrate that i) the (global) Hall effect on a boundary reflects only the current injected via the same boundary while ii) the magnetoresistive voltage is sensitive to current compensation and, therefore, the net current within the specimen. The invariance of these features from the classical to the quantum limits suggests that a bulk current is maintained under steady-state quantized Hall effect conditions, in the low-current linear-response regime.
