STUDY OF HALL EFFECT EXPERIMENT —HEE-100
STUDY OF HALL EFFECT EXPERIMENT — HEE -10
INTRODUCTIO?
'n 1879 physicest EH, Hall observed that when un electical current passes though a sample placed in & magnetic Field, a
Potential proportional to the current and to the magnetic field is developed across the material in a direction perpendicular to
both the current and to the magnetic field (1.] This effect is known as the Hall effect. And is the basis of many practical
applications and devices such as magnetic field measurement, and position and motion detectors.
vith the measurement he made, Hall was able to determine forthe time the sign of charge carriers in a conductor. Even tos)
Hall effect measurement continue to be a useful technique for characterizing the electrical transport properties of metals and
semiconductors
THEORY
Static magnetic field has no effect on charges unless they are in motion, When the charges flow. & mapnetic
field direct perpendicular to the direction of flow produces s mutually perpendicular force on the charges. When this
happens, elecirons and holes will be separated by opposite forces. They will in turn produce an electric field (Ls)
which depends on the cross product of the magnetic intensity, H, andthe current densiy, J. the situation is demonstisied

From simple reasoning, the current density J is the charge q multiplied by the number of carriers

From this equation, it is clear that the sign of Hall Coefficient depend upon the sign of the 9, this means, in

Determination of Plank’s Constant by Photoelectric Effect
Theory:
IN was observed as early as 1905 that most metals under influence of radiation, e
electrons. This phenomenon was termed as photoelectric emission, The detailed study of il
has shown,
1. That the emission process depends strongly on frequency of radiation.
2, For each metal there exists critical frequency such that light of lower frequency is
‘unable to liberate electrons, while light of higher frequency always does.
Ey
m of electron occurs within a very short time interval after arrival of the
mn and member of clectrons is strictly proportional to the intensity of this
radiation,
The experimental facts given above are among the strongest evidence that the
electromagnetic field is quantified and the field consists of quanta of energy E= hv where v is
the frequency of the radiation and his the Planck’s constant. These cvanta are ealled photons.
Further itis assumed that electrons are bound inside the metal surface with an energy

following procedure:
(Unscrew the pipe of the four probe aangement and place the sample onthe base pate
such thatthe 4-point probe lie in the midle ofthe sample as shown in figure 2
(i) Gently apply some pressure and tighten the pipe inthis postion so that all the 4-probes
are in good contact withthe sample. (Waming : Application of excess pressure may break
the sample)
2. Connect the RED and BLACK plug leads ofthe 4-probe arrangement to 4 mm sockets (7)
marked as “Voltage”.
3. Connect the YELLOW plug leads to 4 mm sockets (6) marked as “Current”.
4, Switch “ON” the apparatus using switch (1). Note that voltage should be positive. Its not
so then interchange the current leads.
‘Set the current to a desired value (say 8 mA) using current adjusting knob (2) as shown in
figure 3. Also, select the range of multiple gs X1 or 10 of the, yaljase dioplay. (ts aways
better to start with lower range ie. X1)
6. Using the switch (9) as shown in figure 3, select the rate of heating of oven as low (Lo) oF
high (Hi) as per requirement.
7, Switch “ON” the oven using switch (8) as shown in figure 3. Green LED will glow,
indicating that oven is “ON”.
8. Note down voltage, V in the voltmeter (4) for different temperatures while heating the
‘sample and record the readings in table 1
9, Switch off the oven and record the voltage while cooling the sample.
10. Repeat the experiment for another value of current. Find the mean voltage V for each
temperature.

Laws of Photoelectric emission:
1. Fora given metal and frequency of incident radiation, the rate at which photoelectrons
are ejected is directly proportional to the intensity ofthe incident light.
2. For a given metal, there exists a certain minimum frequency of incident radiation
below which no photoelectrons can be emitted. This is called the threshold frequency.
3. Above the threshold frequency, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photo
electron is independent of the incident light but depends on the frequency of the
incident light.

detachable scale mounted in front of the bulb of the tube. This scale has a slider with a
hollow tube (fitted with cross wires at its both ends) to fix the line of sight while making
the measurements of the beam path diameter. Base of the unit contains the power ‘supply

when the tube pointer is stat about 90°
10. Measure the diameter ofthe electron beam. This measurement has been facilitated by
fixing a hollow tube on the sider of the scale. This tube fixes the line of sight during
measurements.

12, Decrease the accelerating voltage by a small amount (20 volt, say) and measure the
