Question A piece of germanium, as illustrated in figure 4, contains 2.3 x 101⁹ charge carriers per m³. A current I of 0.06 mA enters one of its smallest faces which has a cross-sectional area A of 1.0 x 104 m². The germanium is placed so a magnetic field is at right angles to its largest face. As a result, a Hall voltage of 0.04 mV is produced across the germanium. Figure 4 a) Redraw figure 4 and add labels to illustrate the direction of the magnetic field and the resulting Hall voltage (the polarity of the voltage does not need to be indicated)

Question
A piece of germanium, as illustrated in figure 4, contains 2.3 x 10¹9 charge carriers per m³. A
current I of 0.06 mA enters one of its smallest faces which has a cross-sectional area A of
1.0 x 104 m². The germanium is placed so a magnetic field is at right angles to its largest face.
As a result, a Hall voltage of 0.04 mV is produced across the germanium.
