Hall effectA current of 7 mA is passed through a bar of silicon while a magnetic field of 5057 Gauss is applied perpendicular to the current flow. The cross section of the bar is 0.003 cm². Two voltage probes are placed a distance 815 μm apart in a direction perpendicular to both the current flow and the magnetic field. The voltage that is measured is 4 mV. 1 Tesla = 1 Weber/m² = 10-4 Weber/cm² = 104 Gauss |
