Question:

An extrinsic semiconductor shown in the figure carries a current of 2 mA along its length parallel to the \( +x \) axis.
extrinsic semiconductor
When the majority charge carrier concentration is \( 12.5 \times 10^{13} \, \text{cm}^{-3} \) and the sample is exposed to a constant magnetic field applied along the \( +z \) direction, a Hall voltage of 20 mV is measured with the negative polarity at the \( y = 0 \) plane. Take the electric charge as \( 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \) C. The concentration of minority charge carriers is negligible. Which of the following statements is/are true?

Updated On: Sep 5, 2024
  • The majority charge carrier is electron
  • The magnitude of the applied magnetic field is 1 Tesla
  • The electric field corresponding to the Hall voltage is in the +y direction
  • The magnitude of the Hall coefficient is \( 50,000 \, \text{m}^3 \text{C}^{-1} \).
