26 Magnetic Field Force on moving charge/current Charge motion, Hall Effect (all sections)
Magnetic Field SI Unit: Tesla
Force - Right Hand Rule
Example Forces
Force on Current
cyclotron period
velocity selector
definition n
force on loop
Hall Effect charges in current are forced to One Side of a (flat) wire due to FB. measure voltage due to this force correlate the V with the B
Hall Voltage determines the sign of the net charge motion. Positive carriers Negative carriers
Size of B effects Voltage Observed (Stasis) d = width = w v = vd = drift velocity This is called the “Hall Voltage” VH.
Carrier Density (n) and Hall Voltage Equations Recall that n = #carriers per unit volume and that
