In the lower atmosphere of the Earth there are negative and positive ions, created by radioactive elements in the soil and cosmic rays from space. Suppose that at a certain time in a certain region of the atmosphere, the atmospheric electric field strength is 1120 V/m, directed vertically down. Due to this field, singly charged positive ions, 8600/cm3, drift downward and singly charged negative ions, 1650/cm3, drift upward. The measured conductivity is 5 .70 x 10-14 (ohms-m)-1. Calculate the ion drift speed, assuming the same speed for positive and negative ions. Put your answer in the form of "a.bc x 10^(y)" m/s.

Please help with Part E and Part D Measuring the properties of a slab of material A slab made of unknown material is connected to a power supply as shown in the figure. There is a uniform magnetic field of 0.8 tesla pointing upward throughout this region (perpendicular to the horizontal slab). Two voltmeters are connected to the slab and read steady voltages as shown. (Remember that a voltmeter reads a positive number if its positive lead is connected to...
