Copper in a Magnetic Field

Copper in a Magnetic Field#

A strip of copper is placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude params.B T. The Hall electric field is measured to be params.E×10−3 V/m.

Part 1#

What is the drift speed of the conduction electrons?

Answer Section#

Please enter a numeric value.

Part 2#

Assuming that n=params.n×1028 electrons per cubic meter and that the cross-sectional area of the strip is params.A×10−6 m2, calculate the current in the strip.
