Q4) (b)

2.0 cm wide and 1.0 mm thick copper strip is placed in a magnetic field 1.5 Wb/m2 perpendicular to the strip. Suppose a current of 200 A is set up in the strip what will be the Hall potential appeared across the strip? (n = 8.4 x 1028 electrons/m3). 

Here, Magnetic field = B = 1.5  Wb/m2
          Electric current = I = 200 A
          Length of copper strip = l = 2 × 102 m
          Density of electron = n = 8.4 × 1028 electrons / m3
          Charge of electron Thickness of the material = e = 1.6 × 10-19 coulomb
          Area of thick copper strip  = A = 2 × 10-5 m2

Now, Hall potential Hv = I B ln e A

                           Hv  =  200  ×   1.5  ×   2 × 10-2  8.4 × 1028  ×   1.6 × 10-19  ×   2 × 10-5 

                           Hv  = 22.32 × 10-6 V
