I want to ask about the workings of the Hall effect. Why do the electrons come to rest on the edge of the wire? The magnetic field pushes them up, and the electric field pushes them forward. Shouldn't they reach the top of of the conductor and then stop moving up but continue moving forward?
Why does the magnetic field stop them from continuing to flow? The magnetic force is up so why would it effect their velocity forwards?
