Question
A calibrated hall sensor (i.e. a very small and special kind of
semiconductor) is used to...
A calibrated hall sensor (i.e. a very small and special kind of
semiconductor) is used to measure magnetic field intensities.
Consider a very long, straight wire carrying a current of 0.5 A. If
the hall sensor gives a reading of 17 μT, then how far is the
sensor from the center of the wire? a) 2 mm b) 3 mm c)
4 mm d) 5mm e) 6 mm
If an electron is injected perpendicularly into a magnetic
field, it will move in a circular trajectory. If the electron’s
radius of motion is 8.0 mm and the magnetic field strength is 26
mT, then what is the electron’s speed? a) 3.0 x 106 m/s b) 0.80 x
107 m/s c) 3.2 x 1010 m/s d) 3.7 x 107 m/s e) 1.4 x 108
m/s
