I Hall Effect: Electric Field Direction at Equilibrium

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the Hall effect and the direction of the electric field at equilibrium within a conducting material. One viewpoint suggests that the electric field points negatively and that the forces generated are canceled out. In contrast, another perspective claims that the electric field is negligible or non-existent at equilibrium. The participant seeks clarification on which explanation is correct and requests sources for the online text that supports this claim. The conversation highlights the confusion surrounding the behavior of the electric field in the context of the Hall effect.

I have a good understanding on the hall effect. However, I was told by my tutor that the electric field direction at equilibrium remains pointing in the negative side of the conducting material and the force it generated is canceled out. But further reading online text, the electric field doesn't even exist and the direction at equilibrium is negligible or non-existance. My qns is who is right here and is there even a direction the electric field is pointing at equilibrium??

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
