Hall Effect

When magnetic field is applied perpendicular to a current carrying conductor, then voltage is developed across the conductor in the direction perpendicular to both current and magnetic field. This effect is called Hall effect. Let us consider a rectangular cross…

Moving Coil Galvanometer

Moving coil galvanometer is a device which is used to detect and measure small electric currents present in an electric circuit. Principle It is based on the principle that, “When a current carrying coil is placed in magnetic field, it…

Derivation of Expression for Torque on a Rectangular Coil

Let us consider a rectangular coil PQRS of length ‘l’ and breadth ‘b’ suspended in uniform horizontal magnetic field ‘B’. Let the plane of the coil make an angle ‘θ’ with the direction of magnetic field. When current ‘I’ is…
