I Quantum Hall Effect and Hall Voltage

I understand that the Quantum Hall Effect explains how both the transverse and longitudinal resistance vary with magnetic field strength.

I don’t get why the hall resistance is equal to the hall voltage over the current .


I know current isn’t a vector quantity but isn’t the hall resistance an opposition to the charge flow that goes across the conductor due to the magnetic field?

I have read that Ohm’s Law has nothing to do with Hall Voltage but I can’t understand why Rhall=Vhall/I

I would only think the longitudinal resistance would be an opposition to the current I.

What is wrong with the way I am visualizing this?

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
