`beta = (e* B )/(m_e* nu )`

Enter a value for all fields

The Hall Parameters for Plasma calculator computes the Hall parameter (β) based on the magnetic field (B), mass of an electron (m_e), electron heavy particle collision frequency (ν) and the elementary charge (e). 

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (B) Magnetic Field
• (ν) Electron heavy particle collision frequency

Hall Parameter (β): The calculator return the parameter.

The Math / Science

The Hall Parameter, `beta`, in plasma can take any value. The following formula is used:

`beta=(e*B)/(m_e*nu)`

where:

• e = elementary charge
• B = magnetic field
• m_e = electron mass
• ν = electron heavy particle collision frequency

More Info

The Hall Effect is the production of a voltage difference across an electrical conductor, transverse to an electric current in the conductor and a magnetic field perpendicular to the current.
