Question

A current i is passed through a silver strip of width d and area of cross-section A. The number of free electrons per unit volume is n.

Find the drift velocity v of the electrons.
If a magnetic field B exists in the region, as shown in the figure, what is the average magnetic force on the free electrons?
Due to the magnetic force, the free electrons get accumulated on one side of the conductor along its length. This produces a transverse electric field in the conductor, which opposes the magnetic force on the electrons. Find the magnitude of the electric field which will stop further accumulation of electrons.
What will be the potential difference developed across the width of the conductor due to the electron-accumulation? The appearance of a transverse emf, when a current-carrying wire is placed in a magnetic field, is called Hall effect.

Answer

$\text{i}=\text{V}_0\text{n}\text{Ae}$

$\Rightarrow\text{V}_0=\frac{\text{i}}{\text{nae}}$

$\text{F}=\text{ilB}=\frac{\text{iB}}{\text{nA}}$ (upwards)
Let the electric field be E

$\text{Ee}=\frac{\text{iB}}{\text{An}}\Rightarrow\text{E}=\frac{\text{iB}}{\text{Aen}}$

$\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dr}}=\text{E}\Rightarrow\text{dV}=\text{Edr}$

$=\text{E}\times\text{d}=\frac{\text{ib}}{\text{Aen}}\text{d}$

An eye can distinguish between two points of an object if they are separated by more than 0.22mm when the object is placed at 25cm from the eye. The object is now seen by a compound microscope having a 20D objective and 10D eyepiece separated by a distance of 20cm. The final image is formed at 25cm from the eye. What is the minimum separation between two points of the object which can now be distinguished?
