Hey everyone, I'm a little stumped on this one, maybe someone can help.
I don't need someone to do it for me, just maybe start me in the right direction.
The American physicist E. H. Hall discovered (1979) that when a current travels along a conducting plate of width l, which is perpendcular to a magnetic field, a potential difference V appears across the plate. Prove that V = vBl
Also,
The Hall probe makes a very convenient magnetometer. Discuss the difference you might expect if the probe is made of copper in one case, where the charge carriers are negative, and germanium, where the charge carriers are positive "holes." The Hall effect reveals a difference between positive charge moving to the right and negative charge moving to the left. Explain.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
