Document Summary

F = q (v x b), where force is perpendicular to b and current i (no force if the charge is not moving as v = 0) Fmag r q > 0 (clockwise) q < 0 (anticlockwise) Both forces are equal, hence (cid:2923)v2(cid:2928) = q v b or r = (cid:2923)v(cid:2927)b. Time taken for 1 circle = (cid:2870) v = (cid:2870) (cid:2923)(cid:2927)b (we can see this is independent of r or v) Frequency f = (cid:2869)t = (cid:2927)b(cid:2870) (cid:2923) (known as cyclotron frequency) Lorentz force f =f(cid:2915)(cid:2922)(cid:2915)(cid:2913)+f(cid:2923)a(cid:2917)=qe+qvb component gives circular motion (spiral or helical) Motion under e and b is crossed and happens naturally due to hall effect. Electrons keep moving towards current (current) evdrift b = fmag = e eh = felect (vdrift = drift velocity, eh * hall voltage) Hall effect, but charge carries positive (vs electrons larlier)
