Homework Statement
A thin metal film of length 1.00 cm, width of 0.250 cm, and thickness of 29.0 micrometers is used to measure the Hall effect. A current of 2.60 A is maintained along the length of the sample. The Hall voltage of 16.0 microVolts is detected across its width, when a magnetic field of 2.00 Tesla is applied normal to the film.
Calculate the drift velocity of the charge carriers.
Homework Equations
Vh = IB/ned
I=neAVd
Vh = Hall Voltage
Vd = Drift Velocity
I = Current
B = Magnetic Field
n = Number of electrons
e = Charge of particle
A = area
d = Thickness of film
The Attempt at a Solution
Using equation 1 I got n = IB/Vhed
Then I plugged that into equation 2 and solved for Vd but this answer is incorrect.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
