A current is flowing in a copper wire (electrons are flowing). The electrons will be deflected to the left wall of the wire due to Hall effect. They leave on the right wall of the wire a deficit of electrons, leaving them positively charged, so there’s a voltage difference between the left and right. An electric force will act on the electrons on the left.
- Does the electric force 100% cancel the magnetic force qvB?
- If ‘1’ is yes, how does the wire still feel a Laplace force/Ampere force iLB? If ‘1’ is no, does the wall of the wire give the electrons a normal/pulling force to balance them?
