VI.—Experiments on the Transverse Effect and on some Related Actions in Bismuth
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 July 2012
Extract
Clerk Maxwell, in his Electricity and Magnetism, vol. i. § 304, makes the following remark about the rotatory coefficient:—“It should be found, if anywhere, in magnets which have a polarisation in one direction, probably due to a rotational phenomenon in the substance.”
The current which should arise from such a coefficient was first observed by Hall. He passed a current through a strip of metal; he then found two points on opposite sides of the strip, which, while the current was flowing, were at the same potential, and which therefore indicated no current when joined to a galvanometer. The plate was next brought into a uniform magnetic field, and when everything was steady the two points previously at the same potential were no longer so, and a current flowed through the galvanometer. This effect is observable in all conductors.
