This experiment explored effects of a magnetic field on a conductor carrying a perpendicular current. The Hall coefficient and Hall mobility were also determined. The Hall coefficients were found to be between 1.12E-2 m3/C and 1.21E-2 m3/C, sign depending on the type of germanium. Hall mobility was found to be (0.561 .0005) m2/Vs.
Introduction
In 1879 Edwin Hall observed that when a magnetic field was applied perpendicular to a current carrying conductor it caused a voltage that was perpendicular to both the current and magnetic field. Hall's observations however were the opposite of the expected results...
