Problem 22
Q

A Hall probe, consisting of a thin rectangular slab of current-carrying material, is calibrated by placing it in a known magnetic field of magnitude 0.10 T. When the field is oriented normal to the slab’s rectangular face, a Hall emf of 12 mV is measured across the slab’s width. The probe is then placed in a magnetic field of unknown magnitude BB, and a Hall emf of 63 mV is measured. Determine BB assuming that the angle θ\theta between the unknown field and the plane of the slab’s rectangular face is

  1. θ=90\theta = 90 ^\circ, and
  2. θ=60\theta = 60 ^\circ
  3. .
