Question

4. A metal strip of length L and thickness d is moving with speed v through a region of a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B perpendicular to the direction of the velocity of the strip. The magnetic field goes into the page as shown. A voltage $V_H$ is measured between the points A and B of the strip. (a) Which end A or B has a higher voltage? (b) Calculate the speed v of the slab in terms of L, d, B, $V_H$ as necessary. (c) Does your result depend on the magnitude or the sign of the charges which make up the metal strip? Discuss.

Step 1

In this case, the velocity of the charges in the metal strip is v to the right, and the magnetic field B is into the page. Using the right-hand rule, the force on positive charges will be upwards, and the force on negative charges will be downwards. Show more…
