In a Hall-effect experiment, a current of 3.0Asent lengthwise through a conductor1.0cmwide,4.0cm long, and10μ³¾ thick produces a transverse (across the width) Hall potential difference of10μ³Õ 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.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The drift velocity of charge carriers isvd=6.7×10-4ms
  2. The number density of charge carriersn=2.8×1029/m
  3. On a diagram,we have shown the polarity of the Hall potential difference with assumed current and magnetic field directions, assuming also that the charge carriers are electrons.

Step by step solution

01

Given

The current is, i=3A

The wide of conductor is, d=1 cm=0.01 m

The length of conductor is, l=4 cm=0.04 m

The potential difference is, V=10μ³Õ=10×10-6V

The magnetic field is,B=1.5T

02

Understanding the concept

According totheconcept of electric field,it is the ratio of potential difference applied to the distance between those plates. According totherelation between electric field, magnetic field, and velocity, we can find the drift velocity. From equation 28-12, we can find the number density. From 3-D diagram, we can show the polarity of the hall potential.

Formula:

E=vdB

n=BiVle


03

(a) Calculate the drift velocity of charge carriers

As we know, the electric field is the ratio of potential difference to the width of the conductor.

E=Vd ......(1)

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

E=10×10-6V0.01mE=10×10-4Vm

Now by using the relation between drift velocity and electric field,

E=vdB .......(2)

vd=EB

By substituting the value, we can get

vd=10×10-4Vm1.5Tvd=6.67×10-4msvd≈6.7×10-4ms

Hence the drift velocity of charge carriers isvd=6.7×10-4ms

04

(b) Calculate the number density of charge carriers

According to equation 28-12, the number density, i.e., the number of charges per unit volume is written as

n=BiVle

From equation, we can write the potential in terms of electric field as

V=Ed

By substituting this equation in number density, we can write

n=BiEdle

But according to equation (2), vd=EB

Therefore,

n=ivddle

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

n=3A6.67×10-4ms×0.01×10×10-6×1.6×10-19n=2.8×1029/m

Hence the number density of charge carriersn=2.8×1029/m

05

(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.

By using the 3-D diagram, we assume the magnetic field along up, and width is along east west line, and we assume the current going along north direction. The flow of electron is opposite to the direction of the current. So by using the right hand rule, we conclude that the west side of the conductor is negative and the east side is positive.
