Moving the hall probe forward at velocity v would make all the electrons in it propel at velocity v, so the magnetic force on each electron (qV x B ) would increase. If so, unless there's some fuzzy stuff involving special relativity happening, shouldn't the reading change?

$\begingroup$ The drift velocity is the velocity of the electrons relative to the lattice ions. $\endgroup$– FarcherCommented May 3, 2017 at 14:47

$\begingroup$ Sorry, what I meant was that the force due to the magnetic field = q(v x B), so if v increases, that's the equivalent of a higher drift velocity. $\endgroup$– JohnCommented May 3, 2017 at 15:04

$\begingroup$ @Farcher Could you take a look at it now? $\endgroup$– JohnCommented May 9, 2017 at 23:26
