Hall Effect: No hall voltage in a Copper sample.

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the absence of Hall voltage in a Copper sample during an experimental measurement, while Bismuth samples yield expected results. The lack of Hall voltage in Copper is attributed to its properties as a non-magnetic material, which typically results in negligible Hall effect. Participants emphasize the importance of following a precise experimental procedure and suggest referencing specific publications to ensure accurate measurements.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Hall Effect and its principles
  • Familiarity with experimental procedures for measuring Hall voltage
  • Knowledge of material properties, specifically regarding Copper and Bismuth
  • Experience with electrical measurement techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Review publications on Hall Effect measurement techniques
  • Investigate the electrical properties of Copper and its implications for Hall voltage
  • Learn about experimental setups for measuring Hall voltage in various materials
  • Explore the differences in Hall Effect behavior between magnetic and non-magnetic materials
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, materials scientists, and students conducting experiments related to the Hall Effect, particularly those working with conductive materials like Copper and Bismuth.

I have been carring out an experiment in which I have to measure the hall voltage in two samples given to me, which are Bismuth and Copper. The Hall voltage values of Bismuth come out as expected but when I measure hall voltage in the copper sample, I do not get any changes in the hall voltage, even when current through the sample is incresed. Why is this this?
