  1. 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?
    1. 2VH1
    2. 4VH1
    3. (1/2)VH1
    4. (1/4)VH1
Correct Option: C

We know that hall voltage is inversely proportional to the concentration i.e.,

VH
1
Concentration

Therefore,
VH1
=
P2
VH2P1

Therefore,
VH1
=
P2
VH2P1

or VH2=
P1
x VH1 =
1
VH1
VH22

Hence alternative (C) is the correct choice.
