Physics Problem: Lorentz Force and the Hall Effect Sensor

Dot Physics via YouTube

Overview

Explore a 12-minute physics tutorial that delves into the Lorentz Force and Hall Effect Sensor. Learn how to calculate the electric field vector in a current-carrying metal bar, determine the drift velocity of charge carriers, and analyze the perpendicular electric field due to magnetic force. Discover the process of finding the change in electric potential across the bar's height. Gain valuable insights into electromagnetic interactions and their practical applications in sensor technology.

Syllabus

- Intro
- What is the vector value of the electric field in the direction of the length of the bar that goes along with the current?
- What is the drift velocity of the charge carriers negative electrons.
- What is the vector value of the electric field that is perpendicular to the current due to the magnetic force?
- What is the change in electric potential across the height of the bar?
