    Hall effect
AI Thread Summary
The Hall effect can occur in any confined current, including copper wire, when subjected to an external magnetic field. While it is most evident in thin flat conductors, the geometry of the conductor can enhance the effect significantly. The Hall effect is utilized in various semiconductor devices, particularly in Hall effect sensors. Understanding the conditions under which the Hall effect occurs is essential for its application in technology. Overall, the Hall effect is versatile and can be observed in different conductor shapes, not just flat or thick ones.

What cases can the hall effect happen?
While reading this source. It states : "This is most evident in a thin flat conductor..."

So, can this occur with a copper of wire? In any shape or form?
Or only flat thick whole spaded conductors?

It occurs for any confined current subject to an external magnetic field.
If you are careful with the geometry, you can make the effect very big.

The Hall effect is exploited in some semiconductor devices.
Look up "Hall Effect Sensor".
 
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...
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...
