Significance of Hall effect

According to the Hall effect's basic tenets, a current-carrying conductor or semiconductor exposed to a perpendicular magnetic field can measure a voltage at an angle to the current direction.

By using the concept of electric field, which is, according to equation 26-11, the resistivity of material times current density. By substituting the value of current density in terms of drift velocity, we can calculate the total electric field. But according to Hall Effect, the electric field is velocity of that charges into magnetic field. By using the value of resistivity of copper, we can find the ratio for copper.

Formula:

Ec=ρnevdE=vdB

(a) Showing that the ratio of the Hall electric field magnitude E to the magnitude EC of the electric field responsible for moving charge (the current) along the length of the strip is  EEc=Bneρ

Use the equation 26-11 EC=ρJ,

Where J is the current density and ρis the resistivity of material. The current density is also written as the form of drift velocity as

J=nevd …(i)

By substituting this equation in theelectric field, we can get

EC=ρnevd

Also according to Hall Effect, we can write the electric field as

E=vdB …(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii), taking ratio, we can write that

EEc=(vdB)(ρnevd)

EEc=(B)(ρne) .....(iii)

(b) Compute the ratio numerically for Problem 13

From equation (iii), we can calculate for copper as

n=8.47×1028/m3and ρ=1.69×10-8Ω.mE/Ec=0.65T(1.69×10-8Ω.m×8.47×1028/m3×1.6×10-19C)

E/Ec=0.6522.9×101E/Ec=2.84×10-3

A circular wire loop of radius15.0cmcarries a current of 2.60 A. It is placed so that the normal to its plane makes an angle of 41.0° with a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 12.0 T. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment of the loop. (b) What is the magnitude of the torque acting on the loop?

Figure 28-35 shows a metallic block, with its faces parallel to coordinate axes. The block is in auniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.020 T. One edge length of the block is 25 cm; the block is not drawn to scale. The block is moved at 3.0 m/s parallel to each axis, in turn, and the resulting potential difference Vthat appears across the block is measured. With the motion parallel to the y-axis, V= 12 mV; with the motion parallel to the z-axis, V= 18 mV; with the motion parallel to the x-axis, V= 0. What are the block lengths (a) dx, (b) dy, and (c) dz?
