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

Figure 28-22 shows three situations in which a positively charged particle moves at velocityVthrough a uniform magnetic field Band experiences a magnetic forceFBIn each situation, determine whether the orientations of the vectors are physically reasonable.

In a Hall-effect experiment, a current of 3.0Asent lengthwise through a conductor1.0cmwide,4.0cm long, and10μm thick produces a transverse (across the width) Hall potential difference of10μV when a magnetic field of1.5Tis passed perpendicularly through the thickness of the conductor. From these data, find (a) the drift velocity of the charge carriers and (b) the number density of charge carriers. (c) Show on a diagram the polarity of the Hall potential difference with assumed current and magnetic field directions, assuming also that the charge carriers are electrons.

In Fig 28-32, an electron accelerated from rest through potential difference V1=1.00kVenters the gap between two parallel plates having separation d=20.0mmand potential difference V2=100V. The lower plate is at the lower potential. Neglect fringing and assume that the electron’s velocity vector is perpendicular to the electric field vector between the plates. In unit-vector notation, what uniform magnetic field allows the electron to travel in a straight line in the gap?
