Why force by electric field is appearing?

I want to ask about the Hall effect. Why is the force by the electric field appearing? I can understand the appearance of the Lorentz force. However, I do not know for what reason the force due to the ...

Hall voltage vs frame dependent electric field in conductor

The hall voltage is created by a current in a magnetic field. Similarly, a non current carrying conductor in an electric and magnetic field will appear to have a voltage in a different reverence frame....

Can one Short a Hall Bar?

Consider a classical Hall bar, no quantum effects. If a magnetic field is applied the standard undergraduate treatment tells us that the Lorentz Force will lead to a build up of excess charge on one ...

Variation of Current In The Hall Effect Experiment

As a 12th Grader, our class came across a very simple setup of the Hall Effect Experiment during our course on Electromagnetism. The entire idea and eventual steady state conditions all make perfect ...

Hall Effect on a spiral [closed]

A flat spiral in immersed in a homogeneous magnetic field. An electric current is flowing in the spiral. The directions of the B field, the spiral and the current can be seen in the picture. As the ...

Why does the presence of magnetoresistive effects indicate the existence of multiple types of charge carriers in a material?

I am currently enrolled in a solid state physics course, and have just completed a lecture on the Hall effect, though it did not go into too much detail. It was mentioned that with van der pauw ...

Hall effect in a conducting ring

Consider a conducting ring moving through a uniform magnetic field of magnitude $B$, with speed $v$. To visualise, suppose the magnetic field is directed out of the page and the ring is moving ...

Hall effect for a magnet falling through a copper pipe?

A falling magnet in a copper pipe exerts a Lorentz force on the electrons that participate in the eddy currents a and b. I mean the vertical magnetic force $F = Bqv$, denoted by the blue arrows in the ...

Hall effect: Do the charges that build up on the sides of conductor kept in uniform magnetic field get uniformly distributed?

When we keep a metal block through which some constant current is flowing in a uniform magnetic field the charges will separate and a potential difference will be created b/w the sides of the ...

Does a current carrying conductor carry a net total charge or only a net bulk charge?

I would like to start a discussion in which we have an ongoing debate elsewhere with no convincing solution in sight. So I decide to ask here: The question is mainly academic: Is a current carrying ...

How to calculate the surface charge density of a conducting plate moving at constant speed in a uniform magnetic Field [closed]

I have conducting plate moving at velocity $v = 6.28\cdot10^5\mathrm m/\mathrm s$ through a uniform magnetic Field of $B = 0.18\mathrm T$. How can I determine the surface charge density?

The mechanism behind the Lorentz force [duplicate]

It has been known for 130 years that a moving electron entering an external magnetic field is deflected (Lorentz force, Hall effects, synchrotrons). What I have never read is a description of how this ...

Analogous to hall effect, does electric field applied perpendicular to the current direction through a semiconductor bar create magnetic field?

Hall effect says, when a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to current direction in a semiconductor bar, an electric field (and hence Hall voltage) will be created across the side which is ...

How to calculate the total charge separated by the Hall effect?

If a plate is undergoing the Hall Effect, how can we calculate the total charge $Q$ present on either side of the plate at the equilibrium state? And how can we calculate the force that such a charge ...

Why (intuitively) do more charge carriers result in a smaller Hall effect?

From the equation for the Hall effect: $$\Delta V_H= \frac{I B}{n q t}$$ [Where $I$ is the current, $B$ the electric field magnitude, $n$ the density of charge carriers, $q$ the charge per charge ...
