The quantum Hall effect
What is the relation between the magnetic field and the Hall voltage of a two-dimensional electron gas in the quantum Hall regime, and how is this related to the quantization of the Hall resistance?
In the quantum Hall regime, the behavior of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a strong magnetic field leads to the quantization of the Hall resistance and the formation of Landau levels. The relation between the magnetic field (B) and the Hall voltage (V_H) can be understood through the Hall effect. The Hall ef...

What is the smallest positive integer n, greater than 1, such that n! + 1 is not divisible by n? (This question is related to Wilson's Theorem.)
To find the smallest positive integer n > 1 such that n! + 1 is not divisible by n, we can test a few values of n and check if they satisfy the condition. For n = 2: 2! + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3, which is not divisible by 2. Thus, the smallest positive integer n > 1 such that n! + 1 is not divisible by n is n = 2.
