Konnor Hutchinson · Answer 1

magnetic field strength is 0.315852 T

Explanation:

Given data

thick = 0.103 mm = 0.103 * 10^-3 m

charge-carrier density = 1.11 * 10^25 m^-3

hall voltage = 3.47 mV = 4.99 * 10^-3 V

current = 2.89 A

to find out

magnetic field strength

solution

we will apply here magnetic field strength formula i. e

magnetic field strength = hall voltage * charge-carrier density * magnitude of charge electron * thick / current

here put all these value and magnitude of charge electron is 1.6*10^-19 C

magnetic field strength = hall voltage * charge-carrier density * magnitude of charge electron * thick / current

magnetic field strength = 4.99 * 10^-3 * 1.11 * 10^25 * 1.6*10^-19 * 0.103 * 10^-3 / 2.89

magnetic field strength = 0.912811 / 2.89

magnetic field strength is 0.315852 T
