| contents | Starting with the Dirac equation for an electron in a constant electromagnetic background on a noncommutative (NC) plane, we obtain a gauge invariant description of the system. Surprisingly, the dynamics of the system is dictated by the standard form of Lorentz force law, once the effective magnetic and electric fields $\left( B^{NC}, \, E^{NC} \right)$ correct up to leading order in the NC parameter are identified. The Hall effect is studied using the NC corrected fields in the non-relativistic (NR) limit. This shows that noncommutativity affects the cyclotron frequency, but leaves the Hall conductivity unaffected at least to first order in the NC parameter. Owing to the NC corrected magnetic field, the hyperfine splitting of Hydrogen atom spectrum also shows a first order correction which helps establish an upper bound on the spatial NC parameter. |
