Hall resistance (HR) of a cross-shaped NiFe wire of submicron scale was investigated experimentally and numerically. We found that the HR curve showed various properties depending on the direction of the magnetic field and that the HR had three jumps corresponding to the switching fields in each probe. In order to control the magnetic fields where the HR shows the jumps, the effect of the pad pattern connecting to the wire on the switching field was investigated. The minor loop of the HR was also studied.
