In an experiment designed to measure the Earth's magnetic field using the Hall effect, a copper bar 0.520 cm thick is positioned along an east-west direction. Assume n = 8.46×1028 electrons /m3 and the plane of the bar is rotated to be perpendicular to the direction of B→. If a current of 8.00 A in the conductor results in a Hall voltage of 4.50×10−12 V, what is the magnitude of the Earth's magnetic field at this location? μT

Assume n = 8.46 × 10 28 electrons / m 3 and the plane of the bar is rotated to be perpendicular to the direction of B . If a current of 8.00 A in the conductor results in a Hall voltage of 4.50 × 10 12 V , what is the magnitude of the Earth's magnetic field at this location? μ T
