This section contains 2 Paragraphs
Paragraph for Questions 17 and 18
In a thin rectangular metallic strip a constant current I flows along the positive x- direction, as
shown in the figure. The length, width and thickness of the strip are l, w and d, respectively. A

uniform magnetic field B is applied on the strip along the positive y - direction. due to this , the
charge carriers experience a net deflection along the z-direction. This results in accumulation of
charge carriers on the surface PQRS and appearance of equal and opposite charges on the
face opposite to PQRS. A potential difference along the z-direction is thus developed. Charge
accumulation continues until the magnetic force is balanced by the electric force. The current is
assumed to be uniformly distributed on the cross section of the strip and carried by electrons.
