Q1. A 38-year-old scientist is studying the Hall effect in a current-carrying conductor. What is the direction of the Hall voltage?
Answer: Perpendicular to the current
Explanation: The Hall voltage is perpendicular to both the current and the magnetic field, making it perpendicular to the current. Parallel to the current is incorrect, in the direction of the magnetic field is also incorrect, and opposite to the direction of the magnetic field is incorrect.
