Principle

The Hall effect in thin zinc and copper foils is studied and the Hall coefficient determined. The effect of temperature on the Hall voltage is investigated.

Tasks

The Hall voltage is measured in thin copper and zinc foils.

The Hall coefficient is determined from measurements of the current and the magnetic induction.

The temperature dependence of the Hall voltage is investigated on the copper sample.
