Question: A current I = 40.0 A flows through a strip of metal. An electromagnet is switched on so that there is a uniform magnetic field

A current I = 40.0 A flows through a strip of metal. An electromagnet is switched on so that there is a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.30 T directed into the page.
(a) How would you hook up a voltmeter to measure the Hall voltage? Show how the voltmeter is connected on a sketch of the strip.
(b) Assuming the carriers are electrons, which lead of your voltmeter is at the higher potential? Mark it with a "+" sign in your sketch. Explain briefly.
