A conducting wire of length l, lying normal to a magnetic field B, moves with a velocity v as shown in (a) Find the average magnetic fore on a free electron of the wire. Due to this magnetic force, electrons concentrate at one end resulting in an electric field inside the wire. The redistribution stops when the electric force on the free electrons balances themagnetic force. Find the electric field developed inside the wire when the redistribution field developed inside the wire when the redistribution stops. (c) what potential difference is developed between the ends of the wire?

(a) Volocity of electron = V,
`Force = q(Vxx B) = qVB `
` (b) F= qE, F= qVB `
or ` qE = qVB ,`
`or aE = eVB or F= VB `
` ( c ) V = lE = LVB `.

(b) If a magnetic field B exists in the region as shown in what is the average magnetic force on the free electrons? (c) 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 be the potential diference 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.
