v = 1.6 × 10-6 m s-1 [1]

(ii) direction marked correctly (into paper) [1]

F = B e v = (1.5) × (1.6 × 10-19) × (1.6 × 10-6) [1]
= 3.8 × 10-25 N [1]

(b) Magnetic force moves the electrons to the far end [1]
Negative charges build up at the far end [1]

E-field then set up until it is large enough to prevent further movement of electrons [1]
Steady p.d. then develops across the E-field [1]

(c) (i) Semiconductor has lower density of charge carriers [1]

thus larger Hall voltage can be observed. [1]

(ii) Since X, Y are not exactly opposite, [1]

small p.d. exists due to longitudinal electric field set up by battery [1]

Adjust R until voltmeter gives nil deflection [1]

∴ 3.77 × 10 I = 3.2 × 10 [1]
∴ I = 0.92 A [1]

It does not depend upon an ammeter which requires calibration. [1]

(ii) Q (10-4 × 10) = 3.0 × 10-4 I2 [1]

∴ I = 1.8 A [1]

(c) Any ONE of the following: [2]

* Avoid overheating of the wires and keep the current constant, therefore the current should be
switched off after a reading is taken.
* Arm CD should be perpendicular to the magnetic field in the solenoid,
otherwise the force acting on CD becomes B I l sin θ.
* Arm CD should be along the N-S direction so as to minimize the effects of the earth’s magnetic field.

(d) Yes! When the direction of the a.c. changes, the magnetic field in the solenoid changes accordingly, [1]
making the direction of the magnetic force on arm CD remains downward.

(e) The calculated value of l is smaller than the actual value [1]
because the magnetic field at arm CD is less than that suggested by the formula µo NI / l . [1]

(iii) Hall probe. [1]

(b) (i) Steady d.c. would produce a static magnetic field which would easily mix up with the earth's [1]
magnetic field.

Even with large d.c. current the B-field produced is weak and is therefore difficult to detect. [1]

(ii) (I) The CRO trace represents the induced e.m.f in the search coil and it is proportional to
the peak value of the sinusoidal B-field produced by the wires. [1]

- The search coil detects alternating B-field. Therefore the earth's field is not detected. [1]
- Measureable induced e.m.f can be produced by increasing the frequency even with [1]
relatively small current.
