Final answer:

The Hall field in the conductor is Eh = 2.346 × 10⁻⁴ V/m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Hall effect is a phenomenon in physics used to determine the properties of conductors when placed in a magnetic field. Specifically, the student is seeking to calculate the Hall field in the conductor and the drift speed of conduction electrons given the Hall voltage (EMF), current, dimensions of the metal, and the magnetic field strength.

The Hall field (Eh) is given by the Hall voltage (Vh) divided by the width of the sample. The formula is Eh = Vh / width. The width of the sample is given as 2.6 cm or 0.026 m, and the Hall voltage is 6.1 µV or 6.1 x 10⁻⁶ V. Thus, Eh would be:

Eh = (6.1 x 10⁻⁶ V) / 0.026 m

= 2.346 x 10⁻⁴ V/m
