Consider a conductor plate carrying a current I as shown in the figure. Current flows in the negative direction. It is also known that a conductor has a charge-carrying density of n with 1 particle carrying a charge q . This conductor plate is then placed on the a region with an external magnetic B field in the z direction .
Determine the potential difference across the conductors! State the answer in terms of B, n, q, I, B, and d! (Assume positive charge carrier)
*This potential, which is often referred to as the Hall potential V_H, is commonly measured in experiments to determine the properties of a material. However, there are other quantities that are also measured namely the Hall coefficient R_H. In ordinary metals, the relationship between R_H and V_H is as following (equation in figure)
