Resistors are elements that are involved in circuits and oppose the flow of current. This page gives examples of computing resistance as well as the history and applications of resistors. <br />
<br />
==The Main Idea==<br />
<br />
Resistors have many forms throughout modern technology and are applied in electronic industries ranging from basic manufacturing (lightbulbs, portable devices, etc.) to advanced biomedical instrumentation such as electrocardiogram devices. In almost everything, resistance exists but for this page only wires and manufactured resistors are used as examples.<br />
<br />
The primary goal of a resistor is to limit the current that flows through a circuit. For example, a lightbulb is a very simple application of Tungsten or another material that has a high resistance. As electrons flow into the lightbulb, they begin to collide with themselves and the high number of charge carriers in the high-resistance filament. The result of these collisions is energy released as light and heat. See the Mathematical Model section for the relationship of these factors and how they determine resistance.<br />
<br />
===A Mathematical Model===<br />
<br />
Resistance can be modeled by starting at the fundamental concept <math>{I = |q|nA\bar{v}}</math> where <math>I</math> is conventional current, <math>|q|</math> is the magnitude of the charge being carried, <math>n</math> is the number of charge carriers, <math>A</math> is the area of the resistor, and <math>\bar{v}</math> is the drift speed of the charge. <br />
<br />
<math>{I = |q|nA\bar{v} = |q|nAuE}</math> and <math>{J = \frac IA }</math> the equation for current density<br />
<br />
Grouping the properties of the material together and utilizing the equation for conductivity <math>{\sigma = |q|nu}</math>:<br />
<br />
<math>{I = (|q|nu)AE = {\sigma}AE}</math><br />
<br />
<math>{J = \frac IA = {\sigma}E}</math> <br />
<br />
Substituting in the equation for electric field we get <math>{\frac IA = {\sigma}\frac {{\Delta}V}{L}}</math><br />
<br />
Finally, using algebra we attain <math>{I = \dfrac{{\Delta}V}{\dfrac{L}{{\sigma}A}} = \frac {{\Delta}V}{R}}</math><br />
<br />
Resulting in the definition of resistance being <math>{R = \dfrac {L}{{\sigma}{A}}}</math><br />
<br />
Although resistance can be easily derived and calculated, the majority of problems that contain resistance involve circuit analysis and Ohm's Law <math>{{\Delta}V = IR}</math> in which resistance is usually provided beforehand.<br />
<br />
===A Computational Model===<br />
<br />

<br />
Given a diagram consisting of a thinner wire leading into a thicker wire and then back through a thinner wire, it is possible to visualize how the cross-sectional area of a wire affects its resistance. The two thin sections of wire are identical and labeled with areas <math>{A_1}</math> and the thick section of wire has an area of <math>{A_2}</math>. <br />
<br />
Charge carriers (electrons in the diagram above) are flowing through the three wires with the same charge but are forced to pass through regions with varying cross-sectional areas. Analyzing the equation <math>{R = \dfrac {L}{{\sigma}{A}}}</math> it is obvious that resistance is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area but observing the above diagram gives a more solidifying explanation of why this relationship exists.<br />
<br />
So let's say electron flow is from left to right; traveling through the first thin wire, the thick wire, and then finally exiting through the second thin wire. The charge of these electrons are equal throughout each individual wire, as well as the number of charge carriers and the mobility of these charges. Observing the diagram, you can see that the electron flow is more dense in the thinner wires. This is due to the fact that the electrons have less room to move around and are constantly colliding with each other (makes sense, less area:more crowded). In the thick wire, the same amount of electrons are passing through but with much more space which means less collisions and ultimately less resistance.<br />
<br />
==Examples==<br />
<br />
<br />
Calculate the resistance of a copper wire with length of <math>10m</math> and a diameter, <math>d</math>, of <math>1.63mm</math> (conductivity of copper is <math>{\sigma} = 1.7{e^-8}</math>)<br />
<br />
Given that <math>{d = 1.63mm}</math>, we can find the cross-sectional area of the wire <math>{A = \pi{r^2} = 2.56{e^-6}{m^2}}</math><br />
<br />
Now we have the length, conductivity, and area which is sufficient to solve the equation <math>{R = \dfrac {L}{{\sigma}{A}} = \frac {10}{4.352e-14} = 2.29 \Omega}</math><br />
<br />
<br />
[[File:Resis.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<br />
How does the resistance of the thin wire (copper) with radius <math>{r_1 = 8r_2}</math> compare to the resistance of the thick wire (nichrome)? The conductivity of copper is <math>{\sigma} = 1.7{e^-8}</math> and nichrome is <math>{\sigma} = 1{e13}</math><br />
<br />
We know that resistance is defined as <math>{\dfrac {L}{{\sigma}{A}}}</math> so relating the resistance equations for these two wires we get<br />
<br />
<math>{\dfrac {8L}{{\sigma}{A}} = \dfrac {L}{{\sigma}{A}}}</math> and substituting in the values for conductivity we get the ratio <math>{ 1.5625{e^-15}{L_1} = {5.95e7}{L_2} }</math><br />
<br />
From these numbers it is very clear that the resistance of the copper wire is very high due to its small area and low conductivity.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Connectedness==<br />
Resistors are used all throughout industry specifically power electronics. Although they have a simple purpose (limiting current flow) they have a very important application in power system projects around the world. Engineers return to the fundamentals of voltage and resistance when designing basic grid systems in developing countries. <br />
<br />
Electrical and computer engineering students use wire wound resistors every semester in order to build circuits involving push-buttons or any type of active-low/active-high switches.<br />
<br />
The purpose of resistance in industry is extremely broad and has many fascinating applications in everyday electronics like the laptop you are reading this article on in the flight decks of jets flying overhead.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Resistance was first observed by the German physicist Georg Ohm in the 19th century. Ohm conducted meticulous experiments while teaching at the Jesuit's College in Cologne, Germany. Although he was teaching mathematics classes, Ohm was primarily interested in electricity and conducting research to study the characteristics of electron flow. For these experiments, he gathered wires of different gauges, lengths, and materials through which he was able to run current and define the famous relationship we now know as Ohm's Law which states that "the amount of steady current through a material is directly proportional to the voltage across the material, for some fixed temperature" and is mathematically written as <math>{{\Delta}V=IR}</math>.<br />

In the thick wire, the same amount of electrons are passing through but with much more space which means less collisions and ultimately less resistance.<br />
<br />
==Examples==<br />
<br />
<br />
Calculate the resistance of a copper wire with length of <math>10m</math> and a diameter, d, of <math>1.63mm</math> (conductivity of copper is <math>{\sigma} = 1.7{e^-8}</math>)<br />
<br />
Given that <math>{d = 1.63mm}</math>, we can find the cross-sectional area of the wire <math>{A = \pi{r^2} = 2.56{e^-6}{m^2}}</math><br />
<br />
Now we have the length, conductivity, and area which is sufficient to solve the equation <math>{R = \dfrac {L}{{\sigma}{A}} = \frac {10}{4.352e-14} = 2.29 \Omega}</math><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
How does the resistance of the thin copper wire compare to the resistance of the thick nichrome wire?<br />
<br />
We know that resistance is defined as <math>{\dfrac {L}{{\sigma}{A}}}</math><br />
<br />
<br />
==Connectedness==<br />
Resistors are used all throughout industry specifically power electronics. Although they have a simple purpose (limiting current flow) they have a very important application in power system projects around the world. Engineers return to the fundamentals of voltage and resistance when designing basic grid systems in developing countries. <br />
<br />
Electrical and computer engineering students use wire wound resistors every semester in order to build circuits involving push-buttons or any type of active-low/active-high switches.<br />
<br />
The purpose of resistance in industry is extremely broad and has many fascinating applications in everyday electronics like the laptop you are reading this article on in the flight decks of jets flying overhead.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Resistance was first observed by the German physicist Georg Ohm in the 19th century. Ohm conducted meticulous experiments while teaching at the Jesuit's College in Cologne, Germany. Although he was teaching mathematics classes, Ohm was primarily interested in electricity and conducting research to study the characteristics of electron flow. For these experiments, he gathered wires of different gauges, lengths, and materials through which he was able to run current and define the famous relationship we now know as Ohm's Law which states that "the amount of steady current through a material is directly proportional to the voltage across the material, for some fixed temperature" and is mathematically written as <math>{{\Delta}V=IR}</math>.<br />

Resistors are elements that are involved in circuits and oppose the flow of current. This page gives examples of computing resistance as well as the history and applications of resistors. <br />
<br />
==The Main Idea==<br />
<br />
Resistors have many forms throughout modern technology and are applied in electronic industries ranging from basic manufacturing (lightbulbs, portable devices, etc.) to advanced biomedical instrumentation such as electrocardiogram devices. In almost everything, resistance exists but for this page only wires and manufactured resistors are used as examples.<br />
<br />
The primary goal of a resistor is to limit the current that flows through a circuit. For example, a lightbulb is a very simple application of Tungsten or another material that has a high resistance. As electrons flow into the lightbulb, they begin to collide with themselves and the high number of charge carriers in the high-resistance filament. The result of these collisions is energy released as light and heat. See the Mathematical Model section for the relationship of these factors and how they determine resistance.<br />
<br />
===A Mathematical Model===<br />
<br />
Resistance can be modeled by starting at the fundamental concept <math>{I = |q|nA\bar{v}}</math> where <math>I</math> is conventional current, <math>|q|</math> is the magnitude of the charge being carried, <math>n</math> is the number of charge carriers, <math>A</math> is the area of the resistor, and <math>\bar{v}</math> is the drift speed of the charge. <br />
<br />
<math>{I = |q|nA\bar{v} = |q|nAuE}</math> and <math>{J = \frac IA }</math> the equation for current density<br />
<br />
Grouping the properties of the material together and utilizing the equation for conductivity <math>{\sigma = |q|nu}</math>:<br />
<br />
<math>{I = (|q|nu)AE = {\sigma}AE}</math><br />
<br />
<math>{J = \frac IA = {\sigma}E}</math> <br />
<br />
Substituting in the equation for electric field we get <math>{\frac IA = {\sigma}\frac {{\Delta}V}{L}}</math><br />
<br />
Finally, using algebra we attain <math>{I = \dfrac{{\Delta}V}{\dfrac{L}{{\sigma}A}} = \frac {{\Delta}V}{R}}</math><br />
<br />
Resulting in the definition of resistance being <math>{R = \dfrac {L}{{\sigma}{A}}}</math><br />
<br />
Although resistance can be easily derived and calculated, the majority of problems that contain resistance involve circuit analysis and Ohm's Law <math>{{\Delta}V = IR}</math> in which resistance is usually provided beforehand.<br />
<br />
===A Computational Model===<br />
<br />
[[File:Circuitthing.png]]<br />
<br />
Given a diagram consisting of a thinner wire leading into a thicker wire and then back through a thinner wire, it is possible to visualize how the cross-sectional area of a wire affects its resistance. The two thin sections of wire are identical and labeled with areas A\sub{1} and the thick section of wire has an area of A2. <br />
<br />
Charge carriers (electrons in the diagram above) are flowing through the three wires with the same charge but are forced to pass through regions with varying cross-sectional areas. Analyzing the equation (R=l/sigA) it is obvious that resistance is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area but observing the above diagram gives a more solidifying explanation of why this relationship exists.<br />
<br />
So let's say electron flow is from left to right; traveling through the first thin wire, the thick wire, and then finally exiting through the second thin wire. The charge of these electrons are equal throughout each individual wire, as well as the number of charge carriers and the mobility of these charges. Observing the diagram, you can see that the electron flow is more dense in the thinner wires. This is due to the fact that the electrons have less room to move around and are constantly colliding with each other (makes sense, less area:more crowded). In the thick wire, the same amount of electrons are passing through but with much more space which means less collisions and ultimately less resistance.<br />
<br />
==Examples==<br />
<br />
Be sure to show all steps in your solution and include diagrams whenever possible<br />
<br />

<br />
Calculate the resistance of a copper wire with length of 10m and a diameter of 1.63mm (conductivity of copper is sigma = 1.7e-8)<br />
<br />
Given that the diameter = 1.63mm, find the cross-sectional area of the wire <math>{A = \pi{r^2} = \pi{.815^-3}}</math><br />
<br />
Now we have the length, conductivity, and area which is sufficient to solve the equation r = yada<br />
<br />
===Middling===<br />
<br />
Calculate the internal resistance of a battery that has a terminal voltage of 7.992V, an emf of 8V, and is connected in series with a .7 (ohm) resistor.<br />
<br />
===Difficult===<br />

Analyzing the equation (R=l/sigA) it is obvious that resistance is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area but observing the above diagram gives a more solidifying explanation of why this relationship exists.<br />
<br />
So let's say electron flow is from left to right; traveling through the first thin wire, the thick wire, and then finally exiting through the second thin wire. The charge of these electrons are equal throughout each individual wire, as well as the number of charge carriers and the mobility of these charges. Observing the diagram, you can see that the electron flow is more dense in the thinner wires. This is due to the fact that the electrons have less room to move around and are constantly colliding with each other (makes sense, less area:more crowded). In the thick wire, the same amount of electrons are passing through but with much more space which means less collisions and ultimately less resistance.<br />

===Simple===<br />
<br />
Calculate the resistance of a copper wire with length of 10m and a diameter of 1.63mm (conductivity of copper is sigma = 1.7e-8)<br />
<br />
Given that the diameter = 1.63mm, find the cross-sectional area of the wire <math>{A = \pi{r^2} = \pi{.815^-3}}</math><br />
<br />
Now we have the length, conductivity, and area which is sufficient to solve the equation r = yada<br />

Calculate the internal resistance of a battery that has a terminal voltage of 7.992V, an emf of 8V, and is connected in series with a .7 (ohm) resistor.<br />

Resistors are used all throughout industry specifically power electronics. Although they have a simple purpose (limiting current flow) they have a very important application in power system projects around the world. Engineers return to the fundamentals of voltage and resistance when designing basic grid systems in developing countries. <br />
<br />
Electrical and computer engineering students use wire wound resistors every semester in order to build circuits involving push-buttons or any type of active-low/active-high switches.<br />

Resistors specific purpose in industry is particularly boring; however, they play a major role in many electronics such as the laptop you are reading this on and the jets flying overhead.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Resistance was first observed by the German physicist Georg Ohm in the 19th century. Ohm conducted meticulous experiments while teaching at the Jesuit's College in Cologne, Germany. Although he was teaching mathematics classes, Ohm was primarily interested in electricity and conducting research to study the characteristics of electron flow. For these experiments, he gathered wires of different gauges, lengths, and materials through which he was able to run current and define the famous relationship we now know as Ohm's Law which states that "the amount of steady current through a material is directly proportional to the voltage across the material, for some fixed temperature."<br />

<br />
Resistors are elements that are involved in circuits and oppose the flow of current. This page gives examples of computing resistance as well as the history and applications of resistors. <br />
<br />
==The Main Idea==<br />
<br />
Resistors have many forms throughout modern technology and are applied in electronic industries ranging from basic manufacturing (lightbulbs, portable devices, etc.) to advanced biomedical instrumentation such as electrocardiogram devices. In almost everything, resistance exists but for this page only wires and manufactured resistors are used as examples.<br />
<br />
The primary goal of a resistor is to limit the current that flows through a circuit. For example, a lightbulb is a very simple application of Tungsten or another material that has a high resistance. As electrons flow into the lightbulb, they begin to collide with themselves and the high number of charge carriers in the high-resistance filament. The result of these collisions is energy released as light and heat. See the Mathematical Model section for the relationship of these factors and how they determine resistance.<br />
<br />
===A Mathematical Model===<br />
<br />
Resistance can be modeled by starting at the fundamental concept <math>{I = |q|nA\bar{v}}</math> where <math>I</math> is conventional current, <math>|q|</math> is the magnitude of the charge being carried, <math>n</math> is the number of charge carriers, <math>A</math> is the area of the resistor, and <math>\bar{v}</math> is the drift speed of the charge. <br />
<br />
<math>{I = |q|nA\bar{v} = |q|nAuE}</math> and <math>{J = \frac IA }</math> the equation for current density<br />
<br />
Grouping the properties of the material together and utilizing the equation for conductivity <math>{\sigma = |q|nu}</math>:<br />
<br />
<math>{I = (|q|nu)AE = {\sigma}AE}</math><br />
<br />
<math>{J = \frac IA = {\sigma}E}</math> <br />
<br />
Substituting in the equation for electric field we get <math>{\frac IA = {\sigma}\frac {{\Delta}V}{L}}</math><br />
<br />
Finally, using algebra we attain <math>{I = \dfrac{{\Delta}V}{\dfrac{L}{{\sigma}A}} = \frac {{\Delta}V}{R}}</math><br />
<br />
Resulting in the definition of resistance being <math>{R = \dfrac {L}{{\sigma}{A}}}</math><br />
<br />
Although resistance can be easily derived and calculated, the majority of problems that contain resistance involve circuit analysis and Ohm's Law <math>{{\Delta}V = IR}</math> in which resistance is usually provided beforehand.<br />
<br />
===A Computational Model===<br />
<br />
[[File:Circuitthing.png]]<br />
<br />
Given a diagram consisting of a thinner wire leading into a thicker wire and then back through a thinner wire, it is possible to visualize how the cross-sectional area of a wire affects its resistance. The two thin sections of wire are identical and labeled with areas A\sub{1} and the thick section of wire has an area of A2. <br />
<br />
Charge carriers (electrons in the diagram above) are flowing through the three wires with the same charge but are forced to pass through regions with varying cross-sectional areas. Analyzing the equation (R=l/sigA) it is obvious that resistance is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area but observing the above diagram gives a more solidifying explanation of why this relationship exists.<br />

<br />
Resistors are elements that are involved in circuits and oppose the flow of current. This page gives examples of computing resistance as well as the history and applications of resistors. <br />
<br />
==The Main Idea==<br />
<br />
Resistors have many forms throughout modern technology and are applied in electronic industries ranging from basic manufacturing (lightbulbs, portable devices, etc.) to advanced biomedical instrumentation such as electrocardiogram devices. (electronicdesign.com) In almost everything, resistance exists but for this page only wires and manufactured resistors are used as examples.<br />
<br />
The primary goal of a resistor is to limit the current that flows through a circuit. For example, a lightbulb is a very simple application of Tungsten or another material that has a high resistance. As electrons flow into the lightbulb, they begin to collide with themselves and the high number of charge carriers in the high-resistance filament. The result of these collisions is energy released as light and heat. See the Mathematical Model section for the relationship of these factors and how they determine resistance.<br />
<br />
===A Mathematical Model===<br />
<br />
Resistance can be modeled by starting at the fundamental concept <math>{I = |q|nA\bar{v}}</math> where <math>I</math> is conventional current, <math>|q|</math> is the magnitude of the charge being carried, <math>n</math> is the number of charge carriers, <math>A</math> is the area of the resistor, and <math>\bar{v}</math> is the drift speed of the charge. <br />
<br />
<math>{I = |q|nA\bar{v} = |q|nAuE}</math> and <math>{J = \frac IA }</math> the equation for current density<br />
<br />
Grouping the properties of the material together and utilizing the equation for conductivity <math>{\sigma = |q|nu}</math>:<br />
<br />
<math>{I = (|q|nu)AE = {\sigma}AE}</math><br />
<br />
<math>{J = \frac IA = {\sigma}E}</math> <br />
<br />
Substituting in the equation for electric field we get <math>{\frac IA = {\sigma}\frac {{\Delta}V}{L}}</math><br />
<br />
Finally, using algebra we attain <math>{I = \dfrac{{\Delta}V}{\dfrac{L}{{\sigma}A}} = \frac {{\Delta}V}{R}}</math><br />
<br />
Resulting in the definition of resistance being <math>{R = \dfrac {L}{{\sigma}{A}}}</math><br />
<br />
Although resistance can be easily derived and calculated, the majority of problems that contain resistance involve circuit analysis and Ohm's Law <math>{{\Delta}V = IR}</math> in which resistance is usually provided beforehand.<br />
<br />
===A Computational Model===<br />
<br />
[[File:Circuitthing.png]]<br />
<br />
Given a diagram consisting of a thinner wire leading into a thicker wire and then back through a thinner wire, it is possible to visualize how the cross-sectional area of a wire affects its resistance. The two thin sections of wire are identical and labeled with areas A\sub{1} and the thick section of wire has an area of A2. <br />
<br />
Charge carriers (electrons in the diagram above) are flowing through the three wires with the same charge but are forced to pass through regions with varying cross-sectional areas. Analyzing the equation (R=l/sigA) it is obvious that resistance is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area but observing the above diagram gives a more solidifying explanation of why this relationship exists.<br />
<br />
So let's say electron flow is from left to right; traveling through the first thin wire, the thick wire, and then finally exiting through the second thin wire. The charge of these electrons are equal throughout each individual wire, as well as the number of charge carriers and the mobility of these charges. Observing the diagram, you can see that the electron flow is more dense in the thinner wires. This is due to the fact that the electrons have less room to move around and are constantly colliding with each other (makes sense, less area:more crowded). In the thick wire, the same amount of electrons are passing through but with much more space which means less collisions and ultimately less resistance.<br />
<br />
==Examples==<br />
<br />
Be sure to show all steps in your solution and include diagrams whenever possible<br />

Welcome to the Georgia Tech Wiki for Introductory Physics. This resource was created so that students can contribute and curate content to help those with limited or no access to a textbook. When reading this website, please correct any errors you may come across. If you read something that isn't clear, please consider revising it for future students!<br />
<br />
Looking to make a contribution?<br />
#Pick one of the topics from intro physics listed below<br />
#Add content to that topic or improve the quality of what is already there.<br />
#Need to make a new topic? Edit this page and add it to the list under the appropriate category. Then copy and paste the default [[Template]] into your new page and start editing.<br />
<br />
Please remember that this is not a textbook and you are not limited to expressing your ideas with only text and equations. Whenever possible embed: pictures, videos, diagrams, simulations, computational models (e.g. Glowscript), and whatever content you think makes learning physics easier for other students.<br />
<br />
== Source Material ==<br />
All of the content added to this resource must be in the public domain or similar free resource. If you are unsure about a source, contact the original author for permission. That said, there is a surprisingly large amount of introductory physics content scattered across the web. Here is an incomplete list of intro physics resources (please update as needed).<br />
* A physics resource written by experts for an expert audience [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Physics Physics Portal]<br />

* A resource guide compiled by the [http://www.aapt.org/ AAPT] for educators [http://www.compadre.org/ ComPADRE]<br />
<br />
== Organizing Categories ==<br />
These are the broad, overarching categories, that we cover in three semester of introductory physics. You can add subcategories as needed but a single topic should direct readers to a page in one of these categories.<br />
<br />
== Resources ==<br />
* Commonly used wiki commands [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Cheatsheet Wiki Cheatsheet]<br />
* A guide to representing equations in math mode [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula Wiki Math Mode]<br />
* A page to keep track of all the physics [[Constants]]<br />
* A page for review of [[Vectors]] and vector operations<br />
* A listing of [[Notable Scientist]] with links to their individual pages <br />

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><br />
The Hall effect is a phenomenon that describes why charged particles collect to one side of a conductor in the presence of a magnetic field. It is used to determine the charge of a mobile particle inside a conductor.<br />
<br />
== Main Idea ==<br />
<br />
The Hall Effect is a phenomenon that is created when charged particles moving through a conductor are submitted to a magnetic field. The magnetic field pushes the charged particles to one side of the conductor. This causes a buildup of charges on one side of the conductor which creates a polarization of the conductor perpendicular to the current flow. Eventually this charge will stabilize as the mobile charges will resist the magnetic field. <br />

Welcome to the Georgia Tech Wiki for Introductory Physics. This resource was created so that students can contribute and curate content to help those with limited or no access to a textbook. When reading this website, please correct any errors you may come across. If you read something that isn't clear, please consider revising it for future students!<br />
<br />
Looking to make a contribution?<br />
#Pick one of the topics from intro physics listed below<br />
#Add content to that topic or improve the quality of what is already there.<br />
#Need to make a new topic? Edit this page and add it to the list under the appropriate category. Then copy and paste the default [[Template]] into your new page and start editing.<br />
<br />
Please remember that this is not a textbook and you are not limited to expressing your ideas with only text and equations. Whenever possible embed: pictures, videos, diagrams, simulations, computational models (e.g. Glowscript), and whatever content you think makes learning physics easier for other students.<br />
<br />

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><br />
The Hall effect is a phenomenon that describes why charged particles collect to one side of a conductor in the presence of a magnetic field. It is used to determine the charge of a mobile particle inside a conductor.<br />
<br />
== Main Idea ==<br />
<br />
The Hall Effect is a phenomenon that is created when charged particles moving through a conductor are submitted to a magnetic field. The magnetic field pushes the charged particles to one side of the conductor. This causes a buildup of charges on one side of the conductor which creates a polarization of the conductor perpendicular to the current flow. Eventually this charge will stabilize as the mobile charges will resist the magnetic field. <br />

Welcome to the Georgia Tech Wiki for Introductory Physics. This resource was created so that students can contribute and curate content to help those with limited or no access to a textbook. When reading this website, please correct any errors you may come across. If you read something that isn't clear, please consider revising it for future students!<br />
<br />
Looking to make a contribution?<br />
#Pick one of the topics from intro physics listed below<br />
#Add content to that topic or improve the quality of what is already there.<br />
#Need to make a new topic? Edit this page and add it to the list under the appropriate category. Then copy and paste the default [[Template]] into your new page and start editing.<br />
<br />
Please remember that this is not a textbook and you are not limited to expressing your ideas with only text and equations. Whenever possible embed: pictures, videos, diagrams, simulations, computational models (e.g. Glowscript), and whatever content you think makes learning physics easier for other students.<br />
<br />
== Source Material ==<br />
All of the content added to this resource must be in the public domain or similar free resource. If you are unsure about a source, contact the original author for permission.

<br />
== Organizing Categories ==<br />
These are the broad, overarching categories, that we cover in three semester of introductory physics. You can add subcategories as needed but a single topic should direct readers to a page in one of these categories.<br />
<br />
== Resources ==<br />
* Commonly used wiki commands [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Cheatsheet Wiki Cheatsheet]<br />

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><br />
The Hall effect is a phenomenon that describes why charged particles collect to one side of a conductor in the presence of a magnetic field. It is used to determine the charge of a mobile particle inside a conductor.<br />
<br />
== Main Idea ==<br />
<br />
The Hall Effect is a phenomenon that is created when charged particles moving through a conductor are submitted to a magnetic field. The magnetic field pushes the charged particles to one side of the conductor. This causes a buildup of charges on one side of the conductor which creates a polarization of the conductor perpendicular to the current flow. Eventually this charge will stabilize as the mobile charges will resist the magnetic field. <br />

Welcome to the Georgia Tech Wiki for Introductory Physics. This resources was created so that students can contribute and curate content to help those with limited or no access to a textbook. When reading this website, please correct any errors you may come across. If you read something that isn't clear, please consider revising it for future students!<br />
<br />
Looking to make a contribution?<br />
#Pick one of the topics from intro physics listed below<br />
#Add content to that topic or improve the quality of what is already there.<br />
#Need to make a new topic? Edit this page and add it to the list under the appropriate category. Then copy and paste the default [[Template]] into your new page and start editing.<br />
<br />
Please remember that this is not a textbook and you are not limited to expressing your ideas with only text and equations. Whenever possible embed: pictures, videos, diagrams, simulations, computational models (e.g. Glowscript), and whatever content you think makes learning physics easier for other students.<br />
<br />
== Source Material ==<br />

<div>__NOTOC__<br />
Welcome to the Georgia Tech Wiki for Introductory Physics. This resources was created so that students can contribute and curate content to help those with limited or no access to a textbook. When reading this website, please correct any errors you may come across. If you read something that isn't clear, please consider revising it for future students!<br />
<br />
Looking to make a contribution?<br />
#Pick one of the topics from intro physics listed below<br />
#Add content to that topic or improve the quality of what is already there.<br />
#Need to make a new topic? Edit this page and add it to the list under the appropriate category. Then copy and paste the default [[Template]] into your new page and start editing.<br />
<br />
Please remember that this is not a textbook and you are not limited to expressing your ideas with only text and equations. Whenever possible embed: pictures, videos, diagrams, simulations, computational models (e.g. Glowscript), and whatever content you think makes learning physics easier for other students.<br />
<br />
== Source Material ==<br />
All of the content added to this resource must be in the public domain or similar free resource. If you are unsure about a source, contact the original author for permission. That said, there is a surprisingly large amount of introductory physics content scattered across the web. Here is an incomplete list of intro physics resources (please update as needed).<br />
* A physics resource written by experts for an expert audience [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Physics Physics Portal]<br />
* A wiki written for students by a physics expert [http://p3server.pa.msu.edu/coursewiki/doku.php?id=183_notes MSU Physics Wiki]<br />
* A wiki book on modern physics [https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Modern_Physics Modern Physics Wiki]<br />
* The MIT open courseware for intro physics [http://ocw.mit.edu/resources/res-8-002-a-wikitextbook-for-introductory-mechanics-fall-2009/index.htm MITOCW Wiki]<br />
* An online concept map of intro physics [http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hph.html HyperPhysics]<br />
* Interactive physics simulations [https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/category/physics PhET]<br />
* OpenStax algebra based intro physics textbook [https://openstaxcollege.org/textbooks/college-physics College Physics]<br />

* A resource guide compiled by the [http://www.aapt.org/ AAPT] for educators [http://www.compadre.org/ ComPADRE]<br />
<br />
== Organizing Categories ==<br />
These are the broad, overarching categories, that we cover in three semester of introductory physics. You can add subcategories as needed but a single topic should direct readers to a page in one of these categories.<br />
<br />
== Resources ==<br />
* Commonly used wiki commands [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Cheatsheet Wiki Cheatsheet]<br />
* A guide to representing equations in math mode [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Displaying_a_formula Wiki Math Mode]<br />
* A page to keep track of all the physics [[Constants]]<br />
* A page for review of [[Vectors]] and vector operations<br />
* A listing of [[Notable Scientist]] with links to their individual pages <br />
