  2. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

    Collisions of these electrons with the atoms of the sheet exert a drag force on the sheet. Eddy current brake. The North magnetic pole piece (top) in this drawing is shown further away from the disk than the South; this is just to leave room to show the currents. In an actual eddy current brake the pole pieces are positioned as close to the ...

  3. Hall effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_effect

    But consider the same magnetic field and current are applied but the current is carried inside the Hall effect device by a positive particle. The particle would of course have to be moving in the opposite direction of the electron in order for the current to be the same—down in the diagram, not up like the electron is.

  4. Electron hole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_hole

    When an electron leaves a helium atom, it leaves an electron hole in its place. This causes the helium atom to become positively charged. In physics, chemistry, and electronic engineering, an electron hole (often simply called a hole) is a quasiparticle denoting the lack of an electron at a position where one could exist in an atom or atomic lattice.

  5. Shubnikov–de Haas effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shubnikov–de_Haas_effect

    The matrix T ml denotes the probability of transmission of a negatively charged particle (i.e. of an electron) from a contact l ≠ m to another contact m. The net current I m in relationship is made up of the currents towards contact m and of the current transmitted from the contact m to all other contacts l ≠ m.

  6. Quantum Hall effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Hall_effect

    The quantum Hall effect (or integer quantum Hall effect) is a quantized version of the Hall effect which is observed in two-dimensional electron systems subjected to low temperatures and strong magnetic fields, in which the Hall resistance R xy exhibits steps that take on the quantized values

  7. Diffusion current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_current

    The carrier particles, namely the holes and electrons of a semiconductor, move from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration. Hence, due to the flow of holes and electrons there is a current. This current is called the diffusion current. The drift current and the diffusion current make up the total current in the conductor.

  8. Space charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_charge

    In the case where the electron/hole transport is limited by trap states in the form of exponential tails extending from the conduction/valence band edges, = ⁡ (), the drift current density is given by the Mark-Helfrich equation, [10] = ((+)) (+ +) + + + where is the elementary charge, = / with being the thermal energy, is the effective ...

  9. Force between magnets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets

    Magnets exert forces and torques on each other through the interaction of their magnetic fields.The forces of attraction and repulsion are a result of these interactions. The magnetic field of each magnet is due to microscopic currents of electrically charged electrons orbiting nuclei and the intrinsic magnetism of fundamental particles (such as electrons) that make up the mater
