In a Hall effect experiment, a p-type semiconductor sample with hole concentration p1 is used. The measured value of the Hall voltage is VH1. If the p-type sample is now replaced by another p-type sample with hole concentration p2 where p2 = 2p1. What is the net Hall voltage VH2?
-
- 2VH1
- 4VH1
- (1/2)VH1
- (1/4)VH1
Correct Option: C
We know that hall voltage is inversely proportional to the concentration i.e.,
VH | Concentration |
Therefore, | = | VH2 | P1 |
Therefore, | = | VH2 | P1 |
or VH2= | x VH1 = | VH1 | VH2 | 2 |
Hence alternative (C) is the correct choice.
