Problem 6.212

In Hall effect measurements in a magnetic field with induction \(B=5.0 \mathrm{kG}\) the transverse electric field strength in an impurity-free germanium turned out to be \(\eta=10\) times less than the longitudinal electric field strength. Find the difference in the mobilities of conduction electrons and holes in the given semiconductor.

Reveal Answer
u0u0+=1/ηB=0.20 m2/(Vs)\left|u_{0}^{-}-u_{0}^{+}\right|=1 / \eta B=0.20 \mathrm{~m}^{2} /(\mathrm{V} \cdot \mathrm{s})
